How shall I feel at the judgment, if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride?
W. E. Sangster
Quotes
Pentecost
Preacher brethren, this is the time to blush that we have no shame, the time to weep for our lack of tears, the time to bend low that we have lost the humble touch of servants, the time to groan that we have no burden, the time to be angry with ourselves that we have no anger over the devil’s monopoly in this “end time” hour, the time to chastise ourselves that the world can so easily get along with us and not attempt to chastise us.
Pentecost meant pain, yet we have so much pleasure. Pentecost meant burden, yet we love ease. Pentecost meant prison, yet most of us would do anything rather than, for Christ’s dear sake, get into prison.
Leonard Ravenhill (Why Revival Tarries, 67)
Trying to end the year right.
Other Sheep
I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.
John 10:16
Praying for God to Glorify His Name
Bring your heart into line with the jealousy of God to hallow His name, and you will pray with great effect. Let your first and all-determining prayer be for the hallowing of God’s name, and your prayers will plug into the power of God’s jealousy for His name.
John Piper
Eva Quotes
E: And I have the Holy Spirit in my life. And my life is in God’s heart. And He loves me. And I love Him. And He loves to play with children. And loves to dance around.
E (pretending to be KJ and speaking in a very high voice): I love my parents and my whole life. And I love to grab stuff.
E (to KJ): Good job, Kara Joy! You’re such a beautiful girl!
Ugh. Stop growing up!!! (Currently 3 years, 4 months old and also had her first ballet class today. *crying emoji*)
One Desire
I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
Elisabeth Elliot
“If we please God…”
If we displease God, does it matter whom we please? If we please Him, does it matter whom we displease?

Faith
God honors not wisdom nor personality but faith. Faith honors God. And God honors faith. God goes wherever faith puts Him. Faith, in a sense which I believe you will understand, localized deity. Faith links our impotence to His omnipotence….
Doubt delays and often destroys faith. Faith destroys doubt.

“A Book to be Believed”
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. We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed).

“A Few Good and Fervent Men”
How much more would a few good and fervent men affect the ministry than a multitude of lukewarm ones!
Swiss Reformer, Oecolampadius
Quoted by Leonard Ravenhill in Why Revival Tarries, 65
