"What is the deepest root of your joy?
What God gives to you?  Or what God is to you?"
- John Piper -

"People may be consecrated, gifted, devoted
and yet of very little use because they are undisciplined."
- Hudson Taylor -

 "One of the marks of a false prophet
is what he does not say." 
- Charles Leiter -

 “Without Christ
life is as the twilight with dark night ahead;
with Christ,
it is the dawn of morning
with the light and warmth of a full day ahead.”

Good Quotes

I've had these quotes saved in my inbox from my email subscription to What They Said, (one of our favorite websites listed on the side of our blog).  These are a few that I've saved that I wanted to share on here.

"The world today is looking for, and desperately needs, true Christians. I am never tired of saying that what the Church needs to do is not to organize evangelistic campaigns and attract outside people, but to begin herself to live the Christian life."  -Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"It is often ignorantly and frivolously charged against Christian men that it is selfish in them to seek heaven and glory for their own souls; but no man who is truly seeking salvation will be moved by that accusation. When men really begin to seek their salvation, and to turn their faces to the glory of heaven, then it is that all selfish and ignoble desires receive their death-blow. It is not selfish, surely, for the diseased to seek healing, or the hungry food, or the prodigal his father’s house. So far from this being a sign that the heart is selfish, there is no surer sign that it is being sanctified." -Alexander Whyte

"I say the answer is simple, but it is not easy for it requires that we obey God rather than man, and that always brings down the wrath of the religious majority.  It is not a question of knowing what to do; we can easily learn that from the Scriptures.  It is a question of whether or not we have the courage to do it." -A.W. Tozer

"Ought we not to be more thorough in our service, not simply doing well that which will be seen and notice, but as our Father makes many a flower to bloom unseen in the lonely desert, so to do all that we can do, as under His eye, though no other eye ever take note of it?" -J. Hudson Taylor

“To argue from mercy to sin is the devil's logic” -James Janeway

"To forsake Christ for the world, or a lust, is to leave a treasure for a trifle; a mountain of gold, for a heap of dung; the pure, lasting fountain, for the muddy, broken cistern; eternity for a moment; reality for a shadow; all things for nothing." -William Jenkyn

His Will, His Grace

I know I posted this quote a while back, but I was so blessed by it that I put it with a picture.  I love this picture of Sarah.  Carefree, but diligently working away at pulling loose roots up from the yard.  She was so peaceful.  I thought the picture went well with the quote.  So... I had to post it again. :-)

I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize
the Lord is able to carry out His will,
and His will is mine.
It makes no matter where He places me, or how.
This is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions
He must give me His grace, and in the most difficult, 
His grace is sufficient."
~ Hudson Taylor ~

I was very blessed by reading this on another blog this morning, and am seeking to apply it to my life.  The Lord is so good to remind me to simply trust in His faithfulness!  I hope this quote is a blessing to some of you as well!

"Let us fight as if it all depended upon us, but let us look up and know that all depends upon Him."
- C. H. Spurgeon -

"Only as everything fails us and we fail ourselves, finding out how poor and weak we really are, how ignorant and helpless, do we begin to draw upon abiding strength."
- J. Hudson Taylor -
