Somewhat inspired by my Soulcon App Inspirational Messages compilation, I’ve decided to start another huge list of Christian quotes, sayings, phrases, Bible Verses, and inspirational messages.

This page will be a constantly growing compendium of Christian inspirational sayings, so check back here often (and please bookmark this page!). As I come across great quotations from others, collect and copy them from Scripture, or perhaps even think of a few worthwhile Christian sayings myself, I will post them here.  I will prayerfully attempt to discern what is Biblical and what isn’t. Even though I may occasionally add a helpful or edifying quote, phrase, saying, or axiom that isn’t from the Bible or a Christian preacher/author/thought leader and is instead from a secular source, I will try to make sure it aligns with solid, scriptural Christianity.

Find any that you like? Take them! Copy and paste ’em elsewhere. Do with these what you want: post them on Twitter, use them as a Facebook status update, throw them in a graphic on Instagram or Snapchat, or just share these phrases around social media. Just please attribute any quotes to their appropriate author.

The following compilation will be in reverse chronological order, so the newest will be at the top and the oldest on the bottom.
