More quotes by Jim Elliot
Ninety-five percent of our wool is going to China.
Jim Elliot
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
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
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
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, 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
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
Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?
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
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
For my generation I must have the oracles of God in fresh terms.
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
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
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
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
Jim Elliot
Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!
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
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
