E. Stanley Jones Mean Quotations

Victorious living does not mean freedom from temptation, nor does it mean freedom from mistakes.

Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.

The action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.

Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

Abundant living means abundant giving.
