Online! | Re: | | God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus. -Jim Elliot (martyred missionary to the indigenous of Ecuador)

Online! | Re: | | "The more I advance in the knowledge and grace of God, the less my desire is to be in some sort of ministry God hasn't ordained. If God hasn't built the house, I don't want to live in it. If the blueprints aren't from God, I don't even want to seem them rolled out. I'd rather be a poor, unknown tenant living in a frugal hut built by God, than a wealthy socialite living in mansion built by my own religious effort." - Paul West

Online! | Re: | | "The most radical treatment for the fear of man is the fear of the Lord. God must be bigger to you than people are.... Regarding other people, our problem is that we need them (for ourselves) more than we love them (for the glory of God). The task God sets for us is to need them less and love them more." --Ed Welch

Online! | Re: | | We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism...To your knees, man! and to your Bible! Decide at once! Don't hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist! -CT Studd
