Christian Life

Faith trusts and follows – Oswald Chambers

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

– Oswald Chambers –

Impossible opportunities – Charles Swindoll

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

– Charles Swindoll –

Faith knows where to take questions – Elisabeth Elliot

Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.

– Elisabeth Elliot –

Satan dreads nothing but prayer – Samuel Chadwick

Satan dreads nothing but prayer. His one concern is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.

– Samuel Chadwick –

An extraordinary God – Jim Elliot

Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.

– Jim Elliot –

Occupied with Christ – CH Mackintosh

The man who will present Christ to others must be occupied with Christ for Himself.

– CH Mackintosh –

Sensitive to the Lord’s presence – AW Tozer

Do you find your own heart sensitive to the Lord’s presence, or are you among those who are “samplers” and “nibblers”? God help you if you are, for the child of the King isn’t a sampler and a nibbler—he’s a sheep who loves his Shepherd, and he stays close to his Shepherd. That’s the only safe place for a sheep—at the Shepherd’s side, because the devil doesn’t fear sheep—he just fears the Shepherd. Your spiritual safety and well-being lies in being near to the Shepherd. Stay close to Jesus and all of the wolves in the world cannot get a tooth in you.
