| | Re: Great Quotes 9 | | The place where God has put the wife is the husband's home. Most people have forgotten nowadays what a home can mean - it is a kingdom of its own in the midst of the world; a stronghold amid life's storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary. It is not founded on the shifting sands of outward or public life, but it has its resting place in God, for God gives it its special meaning and value, its own nature and privilege, its own destiny and dignity. It is an ordinance of God in the world, the place in which - whatever may happen in the world - peace, quietness, joy, love, purity, discipline, respect, obedience, tradition, and with it all happiness may dwell. It is the wife's calling, and her happiness, to build up for her husband, this world within the world, and to do her life's work there. How happy she is if she realises how great and rich a task and destiny she has. - Dietrich Boenhoffer |

Whole denominations, ministries and churches bow to the Baals of productivity and power. We want bigger buildings, bigger budgets and bigger badges all for the kingdom of course. -David Orton

"A hundred thousand souls a day
are passing one by one away
in christless guilt and gloom
O Church of Christ, what wilt thou say,
When in that awful judgment day
They charge thee with their doom?"
-A.B. Simpson

Canst thou bear this, my soul--short life? In me there dwells the Spirit of the Great Short-Lived, whose zeal for God's house consumed Him. Make me thy fuel, Flame of God." Jim Elliot
