More quotes by Jim Elliot
Birds are extremely valued as indicators of overall environmental health. If there's a problem in a wild bird population, it's indicative that something went wrong.
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
For my generation I must have the oracles of God in fresh terms.
Jim Elliot
Those whimpering Stateside young people will wake up on the Day of Judgment condemned to worse fates than these demon-fearing Indians, because, having a Bible, they were bored with it - while these never heard of such a thing as writing.
Jim Elliot
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
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
Eagles are very tolerant and very adaptable, but they have to get established first. When birds are setting up their breeding territory, they are the most susceptible to being discouraged.
Jim Elliot
What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?
Jim Elliot
He is no fool who parts with that which he cannot keep, when he is sure to be recompensed with that which he cannot lose.
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
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
I have had to make a cross of two logs, and lie down on it, to show the Indians what it means to crucify a man.
Jim Elliot
I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
Jim Elliot
Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.
Jim Elliot
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
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
God deliver me from the dread asbestos of “other things.” Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.
Jim Elliot
Rest in this-it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call, or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you... The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate Word from God.
Jim Elliot
Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?
Jim Elliot
