365 Quotations from Welsh Christians

... what I also did not know was how amazing would be the mercy of God in hiding so many of my falls ... Enough were made known to humble, but not too many to destroy. I have become conscious that I have been always dealt with by the wisest and most patient of heavenly Fathers who loves me as much as he loves the Son he has set at his right hand. I am safe with him alone. ... Geoffrey Thomas

... I did not know ... how powerful would be the residue of remaining sin, how challenging it would be to prepare two or three sermons each week ... how hard it would be to maintain the disciplines of personal devotions each day, how tough it would be to deal with the disappointments, how great the follies and stumbling blocks that the independence of the ministry and the freedoms of the pastorate would provide. ... The work of grace is in fledgling form in the best of us. Geoffrey Thomas

The only New Testament precedents for spreading the gospel are godly living, praying, and bold speaking. Geoffrey Thomas

If a man says he is a Christian but has no love he is simply deluding himself. Geoffrey Thomas

So do not expect always to get an emotional charge or a feeling of quiet peace when you read the Bible. By the grace of God you may expect that to be a frequent experience, but often you will get no emotional response at all. Let the Word break over your heart and mind again and again as the years go by, and imperceptibly there will come great changes in your attitude and outlook and conduct. You will probably be the last to recognise these. Geoffrey  Thomas
