Quotes

The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time. Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station,..."
Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God. Jim Elliot
May 2 Numbers 6 The Nazarite was holy in three negative ways: (1) he must not touch the grape; (2) he must not cut his hair; (3) he must not touch a dead body. Were I to transopose such consecration into new testament parallels I suppose this would be the setup:1. Grapes-- the source of natural joy--that which makes glad the heart of man. This is denying oneself the allowable pleasures for the sake of a greater holiness.2. The long hair of man is his shame. He must let it grow so... Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him."
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him. Jim Elliot
It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us. Jim Elliot
I pray that the Lord might crown this year with His goodness and in the coming one give you a hallowed dare-devil spirit in lifting the biting sword of Truth, consuming you with a passion that is called by the cultured citizen of Christendom 'fanaticism', but known to God as that saint-ly madness that led His Son through bloody sweat and hot tears to agony on a rude Cross---and Glory! Jim Elliot
The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect. Jim Elliot
We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with. But we are "harmless," and therefore unharmed. We are spiritual pacifists, non-militants, conscientious objectors in this battle-to-the-death with principalities and powers in high places. Meekness must be had for contact with men, but brass, outspoken boldness is required to take part in the comradeship of the Cross. We are "sideliners" -- coaching and criticizing the real... Jim Elliot
Dreams are tawdry when compared with the leading of God, and not worthy of the aura of wonder we usually surround them with. God only doeth wonders. He does nothing else. His hand can work nothing less. Jim Elliot
Most laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores - more than abundantly - what it takes away. Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so..."
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God. Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but..."
Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly. Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every..."
Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God. Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind..."
The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God. Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot quote: "I couldn’t have asked for more than God in deliberate grace..."
I couldn’t have asked for more than God in deliberate grace has surprised me with! Jim Elliot
