“Pain and peace were in harmony. I will never understand how suffering and joy can coexist beautifully.”

“When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji islands, the ship captain tried to turn him back, saying, “You’ll lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among those savages.” To that Calvert replied, “We died before we came here.” That’s my question for us again tonight. Are you dead yet? Dead to yourself, dead to your own desires, dead to fear? Are we alive in Christ?”

“We also understood that “safety” was not a New Testament concept but merely an American one. Jesus never called his disciples to safety but rather to obedience. He didn’t say, “Lay down your cross, relax, and be comfortable” or “I’m sending you out as sheep among sheep.” Rather, he said, “Take up your cross, and follow me”
