Image
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
Image
I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
Jim Elliot
Image
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
Jim Elliot
Image
Surely those who know the great passionate heart of Jehovah must deny their own loves to share in the expression of His.
Jim Elliot
Image
Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.

Image
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

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.

Image
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
Jim Elliot
Image
God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
Jim Elliot
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.

Image
It's hard to steer a parked car.
Jim Elliot
Image
I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.
Jim Elliot
Image
Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.

Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?
