The difficulty and joy of life – Gladys Aylward

These are my people, God has given them to me, and I will live or die with for Him and His glory.

How to avoid conviction – Ichabod Spencer

Man can avoid conviction by truth, just as he can avoid burning by fire — getting out of its way, refusing contact with it — and no other way. So of the frost, so of the light of the sun, so of the thunder. These may be shunned, but not directly resisted. The truth is just like them.

– Ichabod Spencer –
from the sermon The Truth Held in Unrighteousness: Romans 1:18

A person of integrity – Billy Graham

[Integrity] means a person is the same on the inside as he or she claims to be on the outside. He is the same person alone in a hotel room a thousand miles from home as he is at work or in his community or with his family. A man of integrity can be trusted.

– Billy Graham –
