Sermon quotes on attitude
Oswald Chambers
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person – the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, “. . . who will go for Us?” The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
Winston Churchill (attributed)
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
(Though often credited to Churchill, but (humorously) actually comes from a 1939 Budweiser advertisement.)
Viktor Frankl
We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
John C. Maxwell
Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
Erwin McManus
Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.
John Newton
If two angels were sent down from heaven,–one to conduct an empire, and the other to sweep a street,–they would feel no inclination to change employments.
Wayne Stiles
We think our problem is with God, but remember, God is perfect. Our problem is really with ourselves.
Charles R. Swindoll
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.”
Mark Twain
I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.
