Ninety-five percent of our wool is going to China.
Jim Elliot
It's hard to steer a parked car.
Jim Elliot
For my generation I must have the oracles of God in fresh terms.
Jim Elliot
No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him.
Jim Elliot
He makes His ministers a flame of fire. Am I ignitible? God deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame. But flame is transient, often short lived. Canst thou bear this, my soul - short life? ... Make me thy fuel, Flame of God.
Jim Elliot
The shiny paint laid on by curiosity's hand has worn off. What thing better can a man know than the love of Christ, which passes knowledge?
Jim Elliot
If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.
Jim Elliot
Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.
Jim Elliot

Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?
Jim Elliot
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
Jim Elliot
None of it gets to be 'old stuff', for it is Christ in print, the Living Word. We wouldn't think of rising in the morning without a facewash, but we often neglect that purgative cleansing of the Word of the Lord. It wakes us up to our responsibility
Jim Elliot
I have felt the impact of your prayer in these past weeks. I am certain now that nothing has had a more powerful infl uence on this life of mine than your prayers.
Jim Elliot
Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!
Jim Elliot
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.
Jim Elliot
I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.
Jim Elliot
We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with.... Oh that God would make us dangerous!
Jim Elliot
God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
Jim Elliot
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.
Jim Elliot
