Elizabeth Elliot

I am not a theologian or a scholar, but I am very aware of the fact that pain is necessary to all of us. In my own life, I think I can honestly say that out of the deepest pain has come the strongest conviction of the presence of God and the love of God.

J. Hudson Taylor

The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No; it rests in union and communion with the vine; and at the right time, and in the right way, is the right fruit found on it. Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.

1 Peter 4:13

Rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.

George Verwer

My greatest help in Christ is that moment by moment I can pass my distress over to him.

Oswald Chambers

All of God's people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose he has given them.

D. L. Moody

Give your life to God; he can do more with it than you can!

J. Hudson Taylor

J. Hudson Taylor, founder of China Inland Mission, in the closing months of his life said to a friend, "I am so weak. I can't read my Bible. I can't even pray. I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child and trust."

Joni Eareckson Tada

Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.

Elizabeth Elliot

The world cries for men who are strong: strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer.

John 7:17

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

Bruce Larson

We have a choice. We can carry the world on our shoulders, or we can say, "I give up, Lord; here's my life. I give you my world, the whole world."

Eric Liddel

Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.

Luis Palau

When you face the perils of weariness, carelessness, and confusion, don't pray for an easier life. Pray instead to be a stronger man or woman of God.

J. Hudson Taylor

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.

Corrie Ten Boom

The best learning I had came from teaching.

C. T. Studd

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

Galations 5:1

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

John G. Lake

In those early centuries of Christianity, Christianity did not go into the world apologizing. It went to slay the powers of darkness and undo the works of the devil, and it lived in holy triumph.

Mary Slesslor

Christ never was in a hurry. There was no rushing forward, no anticipating, no fretting over what might be. Each day's duties were done as each day brought them, and the rest was left with God.

D. L. Moody

If I can get a man to think seriously about death for five minutes, I can get him saved.

John Henry Jowett

God does not comfort us to make us comfortable only, but to make us comforters.

Oswald Chambers

Faith for my deliverance is not faith in God. Faith means, whether I am visibly delivered or not, I will stick to my belief that God is love.

Charles H. Spurgeon

I do not know the future. But I do preach this, because I know it, that Christ will come.

Psalm 19:1-4

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

Oswald J. Smith

We talk of the second coming; half the world has never heard of the first.

Frank Laubach

The sense of being led by an unseen hand which takes mine, while another hand reaches ahead and prepares the way, grows upon me daily.

J. Hudson Taylor

Christ is either Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all.

George Verwer

The Holy Spirit does not wait for all our cultural baggage to disappear before he can use us in a powerful way.

Elizabeth Elliot

Perspective makes all the difference in the world. If you catch even a glimpse of the divine design you will be humbled and awed at least.

William Cameron Townsend

The task of getting the Gospel in an adequate way to every ethnic person is tremedous. There is but one solution. I'm sure that it isn't man, money, surveys, not talk. They all have their place, but if the basis of all of it isn't fervent, believing prayer, they are in vain. And prayer should not only be the basis but it should permeate and vitalize the whole work.
