I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.

There is something that pretends to be christianity which is mostly mood. The measure of its faith is merely the measure of its feeling.

A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience.

When the time comes to die, make sure that all you have to do is die!" ~Jim Elliot

One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business, when all that legitimately concerns us is today. If we really have too much to do, there are some items on the agenda which God did not put there. Let us submit the list to Him and ask Him to indicate which items we must delete. There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy.

One morning I was reading the story of Jesus' feeding of the five thousand. The disciples could find only five loaves of bread and two fishes. 'Let me have them,' said Jesus. He asked for all. He took them, said the blessing, and broke them before He gave them out. I remembered what a chapel speaker...had said: 'If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because pieces will feed a multitude, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad.'

True faith goes into operation when there are no answers.
