Jesus promised His disciples three things: they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.

G. K. Chesterton

It is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond or what have you.

Jim Elliot

Humility is not the same as low self-esteem, and it is not the opposite of confidence. In fact, the truly humble person walks with absolute confidence, knowing that we are simply vessels through whom God wants to accomplish His work.

Andrew Murray

If the value of an article is dependent upon the price paid for it, Christ's death made our value skyrocket. Let no one say we are worthless. God is not a foolish speculator; he would never invest in worthless property.

Erwin W. Lutzer

When I die, I shall then have my greatest grief and my greatest joy—my greatest grief that I have done so little for Jesus, and my greatest joy that Jesus has done so much for me.

William Grimshaw

In almost every Christian's experience come times of despondency and gloom, when there seems to be a depletion of the spiritual life, when the fountains that used to burst with water are grown dry; when love is loveless, hope hopeless, and enthusiasm so dead that it is hard to believe that it ever lived. At such times, there is nothing for us to do but hold to the bare, rocky truths of our religion, as shipwrecked people hang to cliff when the waves and eddies try to sweep them back into the deep. The rough rock tears their hands, but still they cling.

Phillips Brooks

It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are.

James Mackintosh
