When the Church and the world can jog comfortably together, you may be sure there is something wrong. The world has not altered. Its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was, and if Christians were equally faithful and devoted to the Lord, and separated from the world, living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness, the world would hate them as much as it ever did.

[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.
– Hudson Taylor –
Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish for spiritual things then it is sin for you, however, innocent it may be in itself.
– Susanna Wesley –
God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to Him.
– Andrew Murray –
Jesus Christ Himself is the final exegesis of all truth. He is all that we need to know about God, and He is all that we need to know about man.
– Ian Thomas –
[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.
– Hudson Taylor –
I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
Discipleship isn’t a program or an event; it’s a way of life. It’s not for a limited time, but for our whole life. Discipleship isn’t for beginners alone; it’s for all believers for every day of their life. Discipleship isn’t just one of the things the church does; it is what the church does.
– Bill Hull –
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.
– Francis Chan –
