More quotes by Jim Elliot
Ninety-five percent of our wool is going to China.
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
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.
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

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
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.
Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot

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
What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?
Jim Elliot
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
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
Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.
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
It's hard to steer a parked car.
Jim Elliot
If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.
