"What is best for others? I have an influence over some; perhaps more look to me for guidance than I know. I must be on my guard not to put a stumbling block in another's way. Though certain things are innocent to me, yet, if they will destroy, directly or indirectly, one for whom Christ died, it will be better for me to abstain from them." ---F. B. Meyer

"I preached morning and evening at the Foundery.  How pleasing would it be to flesh and blood, to remain in this little quiet place, where we have at length weathered the storm!  Nay, I am not to consult my own ease, but the advancing the kingdom of God." ---John Wesley, Friday March 9, 1759

 

"I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.  Being controlled by the opinions of others is a guaranteed way to miss God's purposes for your life.  Jesus said, "No on can serve two masters." ---Rick Warren in The Purpose Driven Life
