Singleness, simplicity, is required of me. One treasure, a single eye, and a sole Master!
Jim ElliotFeast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr, the man who will not act until he knows all will never act at all.
Jim ElliotOur young men are going into the professional fields because they don't 'feel called' to the mission field. We don't need a call; we need a kick in the pants. We must begin thinking in terms of 'going out,' and stop our weeping because 'they won't come in.' Who wants to step into an igloo? The tombs themselves are not colder than the churches. May God send us forth.
Jim ElliotIt is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
Jim ElliotDesire is the putting of my will into Godโs concern. Itโs not a passive, sitting back in your easy chair, folding your arms sort of thing, which says, 'Well, Iโm willing, if God would only give me a good swift kick and send me.' Thatโs willingness all right. But God doesnโt want willingness, He wants will! He wants your will put behind those desires.
