"Prayer is the battle; it is a matter of indifference where you are.  Whichever way God engineers circumstances, the duty is to pray.  Never allow the thought—‘I am of no use where I am;' because you certainly can be of no use where you are not." ---Oswald Chambers

"This is the God of the gospel of grace.  A God, who out of love for us, sent the only Son He ever had wrapped in our skin.  He learned how to walk, stumbled and fell, cried for His milk, sweated blood in the night, was lashed with a whip and showered with spit, was fixed to a cross and died whispering forgiveness on us all." ---Brennan Manning in The Ragamuffin Gospel

"Death is not your termination, but your transition into eternity, so there are eternal consequences to everything you do on earth.  Every act of our lives strikes some chord that will vibrate in eternity." ---Rick Warren in The Purpose Driven Life
