Quotes by Alan de Jager

The man who cannot obey God cannot say that he loves or trusts his Master. If God knows best then how dare we interfere with His will?

I want to commune with Christ and live in His fullness or I dont want anything to do with Christianity. I want all God has to offer.

Theres a time in every Christians life that can only be described as a period of walking through a thirsty and dry desert. This is where God teaches every believer the need for faith. God has to strip away every emotion, every feeling, and every physical thing that makes you comfortable serving Him. His voice grows quiet, His Presence lonely, His ear seems deaf, and it will do either one of two things: It will either make you find a comfortable rock and wait for God to show up, or it will create such a hunger and thirst after Him, just Him, that you abandon all the things of Christ for Christ alone.

People think the Bible is too complicated for the average person to understand. People tend to be wrong. Its too complicated for the unsaved person, yes, its foolishness to him. But for those who are in Christ, its a magnificent journey of simplicity. Depth, richness, but simplicity. Its the fact that the natural man cant believe that life with Christ is so simple that cause the great complexity argument. Stop, take a breath, and believe that its as simple as it appears.

So many commands in the Bible require obedience without us experiencing any conviction to obey them. That is when our faith is truly tested.

If you cannot give God glory for something, you should not do it. If a person is not fully persuaded that an activity is pleasing to God, then it is a sin: whatsoever is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23)

Disclosing ones deep, dark secrets makes them no less deep or dark or secret than any other petty flaw.

This [egalitarianism vs complementarianism] is not an issue of chauvinism or discrimination. It is an issue of Biblical interpretation.

I walk into so many places where Christians are gathered and I get all excited, only to find that the fellowship among these Believers is dead! There is no openness, no authenticity.

God is only as far as we imagine Him to be. Its our fleshly desire not to run to Him that is ultimately our downfall.

We can discover much about God by looking at nature. Take the Trinity for example. The Trinity is sort of like an apple. Youve got the seeds, the flesh, and the skin. Three different things. Still, together they form one thing, an apple. And under no circumstances will one apple be three things, but the seeds, skin, and flesh will always be three things.
