"Don't give up on your dreams, my friend, even if it looks like all is lost — for God will bring them to pass just as He promised.  Though it may take longer than you expected, and lead you through things you never anticipated — let the dream do its work, and it will bring you to the place where you see with your eyes what you dared to believe in your heart." ---James Ryle

"His art, His handiwork, and His creation all echo the truth that He is glorious. There is no other like Him. He is the King of Kings, the Beginning and the End, the One who was and is and is to come. I sometimes struggle with how to properly respond to God's magnitude in a world bent on ignoring or merely tolerating Him. But know this: God will not be tolerated. He instructs us to worship and fear Him." ---Francis Chan in Crazy Love

"Surrender is not the surrender of the external life, but of the will; when that is done, all is done." ---Oswald Chambers

"There is a world out there.  Jesus has shown us the way to win it: his Father sent him to lay down his life.  Now he is sending you." ---Dennis Kinlaw in This Day With the Master

"All these days I scarce remember to have opened the Testament, but upon some great and precious promise.  And I saw more than ever, that the Gospel is in truth but one great promise, from the beginning of it to the end." ---John Wesley, Sunday, June 4, 1738
