God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!

More quotes by Jim Elliot
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
Jim Elliot
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
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
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
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
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
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
If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.
Jim Elliot
Ninety-five percent of our wool is going to China.
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
Surely those who know the great passionate heart of Jehovah must deny their own loves to share in the expression of His.
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
I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
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
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
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
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
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
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
