Prayer is the Vital Breath of the Christian – Oswald Chambers

Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

The Hardest Thing in Your Life – Lilias Trotter

Take the very hardest thing in your life – the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom.

Run the Race and Don’t Be Lazy – Basilea Schlink

Do not be lazy. Run each day’s race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.

– Basilea Schlink –

Aligning Our Thinking to Scripture – Elisabeth Elliot

The Word of God I think of as a straight edge, which shows our own crookedness. We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.

– Elisabeth Elliot –

The Best Christians – John Geree

The best Christians should be the best husbands, best wives, best parents, best children, best magistrates, best subjects, that the doctrine of God might be adorned, not blasphemed.
