“God-given prayer and praise have as their essence a waiting on God, a willingness to be wrought upon by the hammer and the fire of the Almighty, until the chains of self-centered desires fall away from the personality, and the love of Christ become the deepest hunger of the inner life.”
― C. John Miller, The Heart of a Servant Leader: Letters from Jack Miller

“In 1966 John Lennon commented to the American press that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. He may have been right. There is a difference between being preeminent and being popular.”
― J.R. Vassar, Glory Hunger: God, the Gospel, and Our Quest for Something More

“Personally, on a big-picture level, I know and delight in the preeminence of Jesus and have yielded my life to that reality. But on a granular level, I still find myself competing with Jesus for glory. I do things Jesus desires with motivations Jesus despises.”
― J.R. Vassar, Glory Hunger: God, the Gospel, and Our Quest for Something More

“Remember, the only real leader you have is Jesus Christ. Unless you are daily taught of Him you will not be able to make the right decisions. To get to Him you need to pray, but it needs to be prayer of a unique quality. You can pray all night and all day and still not be in touch with His will. Prayer is not full and effective unless it adds up to our learning to wait upon the Lord for Him to make known His will. He needs to break down our tendency to cry out in prayer "Your will be done," and then to get up and still try to impose our will on circumstances.”
