"The human authors of Scripture were part of another era, but there is a Living Author waiting to meet us. Reading the Bible for spiritual transformation is not a one-sided endeavor: it is a dialogue of human spirit and Holy Spirit." ---Richard J. Foster
in Life with God"Generosity, you see, is the authenticating symbol of resilience, and it is the antithesis of a life trapped in materialism, self-centeredness, and an obsession with pleasure." ---Gordon MacDonald
in A Resilient Life
"The triumph of Christ is in the change of heart, cleansing of soul, submission of the free will to God, and the holy life which follows. Evidently it is much easier to secure joiners to a church, get people to be baptized with water, to hold up their hands and say they want to meet their mother in Heaven, "desire a better experience," etc., etc., than to obtain genuine followers of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." ---Beverly Carradine in A Box of Treasure"The world is full of naturally brilliant people who never rise above mediocrity because they will not make the sacrifice which superiority requires." ---Richard S. Taylor in The Disciplined Life
"When the heart sees what God wants, the body must be willing to spend and be spent for that cause alone." ---Oswald Chambers
in Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God
