God’s training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for sometime in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.
– Oswald Chambers –
It is now possible to live a “Christian life” without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn’t have to do it.
– Cal Thomas –
The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.
– Hudson Taylor –
Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong, we can do nothing but act upon them.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
God never issues instructions He is not prepared to equip us to obey.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
It is our job to obey. It is God’s job to do the impossible.
– Eric Ludy –
Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.
– G. Campbell Morgan –
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works; and he that is without works is without faith.
– Charles Spurgeon –
One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer –
