People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives … and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted.

(missionary martyr with Jim Elliot)
If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one GO there UNWARNED and UNPRAYED for.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Live in Christ and the flesh need not fear death.
– John Knox –
In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God… To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.
– Oswald J. Smith –
Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.
– AW Tozer –
Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
We need to pray until we get our spiritual eyes refocused on the holiness of God and the lostness of men.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
In all things look to the end, and how you will stand before that just Judge.
– Thomas a’ Kempis –
1380-1471
I value all things only by the price they shall gain in eternity.
– John Wesley –
