― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“Since we are in Christ, we have a missionary identity. We are adopted into a missionary family. We serve a missionary God. Mission becomes part of our identity, because our Father is a missionary God and we resemble him as children of God. The church is a missionary church with missionary people who do missionary things for the glory of our missionary God. This is who we are, but it is also what we do.”
― Scott Thomas, Gospel Coach: Shepherding Leaders to Glorify God

“Most people talk too much, and what they do say is often just noise or irrelevant gibberish designed to keep themselves entertained”
― Stuart Wilde, Silent Power

“Wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life. Knowing this gives me hope that human wholeness-mine, yours, ours-need not be a utopian dream, if we can use devastation as a seedbed for new life.”
― Parker J. Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life
