"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian. But, the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman." ~ Elisabeth Elliot

If You Died Tonight
"Intellectually we all know that we will die, but we do not really know it in the sense that the knowledge becomes a part of us. We do not really know it in the sense of living as though it were true. On the contrary, we tend to live as though our lives would go on forever." ~ Frederick Buechner

Desire Christ
"Thou, O Christ, art all I want
More than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind;
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am
Thou art full of truth and grace."
~ Charles Wesley

Things Permitted
He can only come and give us the richest blessings of transformation and strength and power by allowing us to come into difficult places, even so difficult that we stretch our hands to Him and He can thus come in. Thus we meet the things He permits, welcome them, use them, climb up by them, make them so many ladders to the heights of God." ~ Phineas Bresee

His Strength
"Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." ~ Andrew Murray

You Are An Ambassador for Christ
"To a significant degree, the lost world determines its view of God based on the lives of those who profess to know Him. I wonder how many people have been dissuaded from believing in Christ because something they have heard or experienced from those of us who bear the name of Christ."
