Adrianisms: Great Sayings

I got a book last Christmas called “Adrianisms: the Wit and Wisdom of Adrian Rogers.” It has had so many wonderful sayings, most of them original to the late Rev. Rogers. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I think I could write a blog on almost every one. Here are few highlights…

“Has it ever occurred to you that nothing ever occurs to God?” – Wow, I loved this one. God knows everything. And nothing ever surprises him. Somehow that is very comforting to me.

“I am the visible part of the invisible Christ. He is the invisible part of the visible me.” – Such a simple way to communicate a profoundly deep truth. We are the visible ambassadors of Christ to the world aren’t we?

“God doesn’t just love ALL of us. He loves EACH of us.” – Think about that. Not just collectively as a group. But each, individual person is special to God.

“Holiness is not the way to Christ. Christ is the way to Holiness.” – This has to be my favorite right now. Modern Christians have it so backwards. At least, I know I have had it backwards. Trying to be holy so I can have more of Christ. Trying to live right so God will be pleased with me and use me. When I need more of Christ in order to have real holiness, and only then can God use me. The pathway to a godly life in Christ is always, always through Christ himself.
