“Is the distinction between living for Christ and dying for Him so great? Is not the second the logical conclusion of the first?”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot

“If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.”
― John Piper, A Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting And Prayer

“It is nothing to die. It is dreadful not to live.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin. I have heard others, and I have heard myself, recounting cruelties and falsehoods committed in boyhood as if they were no concern of the present speaker's, and even with laughter. But mere time does nothing either to the fact or to the guilt of a sin. The guilt is washed out not by time but by repentance and the blood of Christ: if we have repented these early sins we should remember the price of our forgiveness and be humble.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
