Jim Elliot
It's hard to steer a parked car.
Jim Elliot
Ninety-five percent of our wool is going to China.
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
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
For my generation I must have the oracles of God in fresh terms.
Jim Elliot
Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
Jim Elliot
I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot
If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.
Jim Elliot
Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.
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
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
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.
