More quotes by Jim Elliot
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
Jim Elliot
Ninety-five percent of our wool is going to China.
Jim Elliot
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.
Jim Elliot
Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.
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
Surely those who know the great passionate heart of Jehovah must deny their own loves to share in the expression of His.
Jim Elliot
Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.
Jim Elliot
As your life is in His hands, so are the days of your life. But don’t let the sands of time get into the eye of your vision to reach those who sit in darkness. They simply must hear.
Jim Elliot
Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.
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
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 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
It's hard to steer a parked car.
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
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
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
Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.
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
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, take my life, yea, my blood if Thou wilt, and consume it with Thine enveloping fire. I would not save it, for it is not mine to save. Have it Lord, have it all. Pour out my life as an oblation for the world. Blood is only of value as it flows before Thine altar
