Just some sweet quotations that I've come across over the past little while.... Enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
-Micah 6:8
But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
-Galatians 6:14
The grace of God is absolute, the salvation of Jesus is perfect, it is done for ever. I am not being saved, I am saved; salvation is as eternal as God's throne; the thing for me to do is to work out what God works in.
-Oswald Chambers
The passion of Christianity is that I deliberately sign away my own rights and become a bond-slave of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I do not begin to be a saint.
-Oswald Chambers
Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.
-Jim Elliot
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
-Jim Elliot
So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
-Oswald Chambers
The bedrock of our Christian faith is the unmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the Cross of Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit.
-Oswald Chambers
When a man really sees himself as the Lord sees him, it is not the abominable sins of the flesh that shock him, but the awful nature of the pride of his own heart against Jesus Christ. When he sees himself in the light of the Lord, the shame and the horror and the desperate conviction come home.
-Oswald Chambers
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
-Oswald Chambers
If we are going to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.
-Oswald Chambers
Simple assent to the gospel, divorced from a transforming commitment to the living Christ, is by Biblical standards less than faith, and less than saving, and to elicit only assent of this kind would be to secure only false conversions.
–J.I. Packer
Powerlessness and humility in the spiritual life do not refer to people who have no spine and who let everyone else make decisions for them. They refer to people who are so deeply in love with Jesus that they are ready to follow him wherever he guides them, always trusting that, with Him, they will find life and find it abundantly.
- Henri Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus
No one who knows and loves Christ can be content to come to Him alone.
-John Piper, Desiring God
