If we are willing to give up only wrong things for Jesus, never let us talk about being in love with Him. Anyone will give up wrong things if he knows how, but are we prepared to give up the best we have for Jesus Christ? The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights. If we are to be the best for God, there must be victory in the realm of legitimate desire as well as in the realm of unlawful indulgence. -Oswald Chambers
"Waiting is an art which our impatient age has forgotten. It wants to pick the ripe fruit as soon as the shoot appears. But the greedy eyes are all too often cheated when they see the apparently luscious fruits, but find them unripe within. Then rude hands throw away what has brought them such disappointment. One who does not know the holy discipline of waiting, which means deprivation in hope, will never experience the blessing of fulfillment."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“We are half hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea, we are far too easily pleased.”
- C.S. Lewis
I am no fool to give up what I cannot keep, to gain what I cannot earn.
-Jim Elliot
Preach the Gospel, if necessary, use words!
