Serving, separated, sanctified.  for Jesus' sake

"It is not the thing on which we spend most time that molds us, but
the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and
His word is worth more than all the rest of the day."
-- Oswald Chambers

"One of these days some simple soul will pick up the book of God, read
it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed."
--Leonard Ravenhill

"Deliverence from believing lies must be by believing truth."
- Jessie Penn-Lewis

"Never was a church-wide, heaven-sent revival needed than at this
present time. It is the only answer to the spiritual warfare we face
in every part of the world. Bombs, bullets and body bags will never
stem the tide of terror and horror that threatens human existence. We
must recognize that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but
mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and
every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2
Corinthians 10:4,5)." -Stephen Olford

"God is not looking for brilliant men, is not depending upon eloquent
men, is not shut up to the use of talented men in sending His Gospel
out in the world. God is looking for the broken men who have judged
themselves in the light of the Cross of Christ. When He wants anything
done, He takes up men who have come to the end of themselves, whose
confidence is not in themselves, but in God." -H.A. Ironside

"Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the
artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage
implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the
cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and
fruitfulness. So do not seek to hide from it. Do not accept an easy
way. Do not allow yourself to be patted to sleep in a comfortable
church, void of power and barren of fruit. Do not paint the cross nor
deck it with flowers. Take it for what it is, as it is, and you will
find it the rugged way to death and life. Let it slay you utterly."
-A.W. Tozer

"So much as one person with a contrary spirit to God is enough to
affect all the meetings - that the revival fire did not flow until
that person broke and confessed, or the Lord removed him."
- Jonathan Goforth

"I've seen more Christians destroyed by ambition than any other sin -
discontent in the heart, always pushing and jockeying - moving for
some new thing, some new position . . . It's not what we do, it's that
we do what we're called to do and that in it we glorify God."
- Carter Conlon

"There is nothing, indeed, which God will not do for a man who
dares to step out upon what seems to be the mist; though as he
puts his foot down he finds a rock beneath him."
--F. B. Meyer

"Our circumstances are not an accurate reflection of God's goodness.
Whether life is good or bad, God's goodness, rooted in His character,
is the same." --Helen Grace Lescheid

"It's exciting to live in complete oneness with the will of God. It is
never dull or static because it is not a one-time, once-for-all
commitment. It is something we have to work at constantly,
moment by moment." --Evelyn Christenson

"What else will do except faith in such a cynical, corrupt time?
When the country goes temporarily to the dogs, cats must learn
to be circumspect, walk on fences, sleep in trees, and have faith
that all this woofing is not the last word." --Garrison Keillor

If you feel stuck, bring your whole self to Christ, not just the problem,
but you. Ask God to change your heart. Commit yourself to pray
to that end. It's God's heart to give good gifts to His children."
--Sheila Walsh

"Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their
God is so big?" --Watchman Nee
