trust the Creator

"All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Missions is not the ultimate goal

"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't". -- John Piper

I'll fight

While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight-I'll fight to the very end! --William Booth

theology works

I don't know how your theology works, but if Jesus has a choice between stained glass windows and feeding starving kids in Haiti, I have a feeling he'd choose the starving kids in Haiti.--Tony Campolo

I am a disciple of the Messiah

"I am a disciple of the Messiah. I will not let up, look back or slow down. My past is redeemed, my future is secure. I am done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, mundane talking, chincy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised or rewarded. My face is set; my goal is sure. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My God is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, delayed or deluded. I will not flinch in the face of adversity, not negotiate at the table of the enemy or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I am a disciple of the Messiah. I must go until He comes, speak of all I know of Him and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, by the grace of God, He will have no problem recognizing me, because my colors are clear."
--Unknown Zimbabwean Pastor

only He knows

"It remains to be seen what we are and where we are going. With many splendid promises from the Spirit of God in His Word, we await with anticipation and excitement what HE has in store for us. Only He knows. We purpose not to touch it with our own agenda. And we purpose to stand back and allow Jesus to be the literal head of this little church."
- Quote from Shulamite Ministries

this tremendous creative purpose of God

"The entire human race was created to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Sin has diverted the human race onto another course, but it has not altered God's purpose to the slightest degree. This realization of our election by God is the most joyful on earth, and we must learn to rely on this tremendous creative purpose of God."
- Oswald Chambers

- A.W. Tozer
