Cool Piper Quote

“Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.” ― John Piper

GIANT QUOTE

"Never mistake activity for achievement"

Joy

"It is the consciousness of the threefold joy of the Lord, His joy in ransoming us, His joy in dwelling within us as our Saviour and Power for fruitbearing and His joy in possessing us, as His Bride and His delight; it is the consciousness of this joy which is our real strength. Our joy in Him may be a fluctuating thing: His joy in us knows no change."
-Hudson Taylor

Helen Keller Quotes

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

T. Austin Sparks

"The whole history of the Church is one long story of this tendency to settle down on this earth and to become conformed to this world, to find acceptance and popularity here and to eliminate the element of conflict and of pilgrimage. That is the trend and the tendency of everything. Therefore outwardly, as well as inwardly, pioneering is a costly thing." — T. Austin Sparks

"It is a costly and a suffering thing to come up against the religious system that has ' settled down ' here. It is far more costly than coming up against the naked world itself. The religious system can be more ruthless and cruel and bitter; it can be actuated by all those mean things, contemptible things, prejudices and suspicions things that you will not even find in decent people in the world. It is costly to go on to the heavenlies, it is painful; but it is the way of the pioneer, and it has to be settled that that is how it is." — T. Austin Sparks

missions

""Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God." --John Piper

"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision."
Helen Keller
