But what is prayer? The question is not vain. Many are prayerless, who seem prayerful. All glittering tinsel is not gold. It is not a vain attitude--nor repetition of unfelt words. It is not copious phrase. It is not the uplifted eye--the outstretched hand--the bended knee--the prostrate form--the smitten breast--the heaving sigh--the falling tear. All these may be, and yet no prayer.
It is reality, not external show. It is the soul in earnest wrestling with God. It is the inner man's intensest agony. It is a mighty grasp clinging to Jehovah's strength. It is a struggling effort. It is the heroic cry, "I will not let You go." It is divine in origin--in confidence--in plea. The Spirit from on high kindles, and fans, and cherishes the flame. The covenant of grace is its strong rock. Standing on such vantage ground, it boldly shouts the name of Jesus and never shouts in vain.

What a gift of amazing grace--that the One Who made me allows me to deny His existence!

If I trust Him, I will obey Him gladly.

Discipline is the believer's answer to God's call. It is the recognition, not of the solution to his problems or the supply of his needs, but of mastery.
- Elisabeth Elliot
God calls us to freedom, fulfillment, and joy--but we can refuse them. In a deep mystery, hidden in God's purposes for man before the foundation of the world, lies the truth of man's free will and God's sovereignty. This much we know: a God Who is sovereign chose to create a man capable of willing his own freedom and therefore capable of answering the call.
- Elisabeth Elliot
Discipline is the wholehearted yes to the call of God. When I know myself called, summoned, addressed, taken possession of, known, acted upon, I have heard the Master. I put myself gladly, fully, and forever at His disposal, and to whatever He says my answer is yes.
- Elisabeth Elliot
The conditions for discipleship begin with "dying," and if you take the first step, very likely you will find that you have indeed been "called."
- Elisabeth Elliot
Christian discipline means placing oneself under orders. It is no more business of self-improvement, to be listed along with speed-reading, weight watching, jogging, time management, home repairs, or how to win friends. Such programs have a strong appeal that is largely self-serving: what's in it for me?
- Elisabeth Elliot
The disciple is one who has made a very simple decision. Jesus invites us to follow Him, and the disciple accepts the invitation.
- Elisabeth Elliot
The disciple is not on his own left to seek self-actualization, which is a new word for old-fashioned selfishness. He is not "doing his thing" to find his own life or liberty or happiness. He gives himself to a Master and in so doing leaves self behind. Any ordinary life in any ordinary town provides ample opportunity to do this.
- Elisabeth Elliot
Jesus is uniquely exclusive to Himself.

If you are truly recognizing your Lord, you have no business being concerned about how and where He engineers your circumstances...Let your actual circumstances be what they may, but keep recognizing Jesus, maintaining complete reliance upon Him.

Strive to choose, not that which is easiest, but that which is most difficult. Do not deprive your soul of the agility which it needs to mount up to Him.

Lose the importunity of prayer...lose the real conflict of will and will, lose the habit of wrestling and the hope of prevailing with God, make it mere walking with God in friendly talk; and precious as that is, yet you tend to lose the reality of prayer at last.

God does not reward passive fatalism, but aggressive faith.

Seeking God earnestly and patiently is the most productive use of our time. It is no mere escape route, but a wise response to grim reality. It gives us the perspective that we need, and it changes history.

Beloved, let God write this principle on your heart forever: The key to peace is authority. When we allow the Prince of Peace to govern our lives, peace [in our lives] results.

Jesus asks nothing of us without giving us the strength to perform it. His commandment never seeks to destroy life, but to foster, strengthen and heal it.

Why is it that a child's death amounts to a tragedy, but the death of millions is merely a statistic?
It is reality, not external show. It is the soul in earnest wrestling with God. It is the inner man's intensest agony. It is a mighty grasp clinging to Jehovah's strength. It is a struggling effort. It is the heroic cry, "I will not let You go." It is divine in origin--in confidence--in plea. The Spirit from on high kindles, and fans, and cherishes the flame. The covenant of grace is its strong rock. Standing on such vantage ground, it boldly shouts the name of Jesus and never shouts in vain.
- Patrick McDonald
As long as we expect God to do for us what we ask or think, we limit Him. When we believe that as high as the heavens are above the earth, His thoughts are above our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9) and wait on Him as God to do unto us according to His Word, as He means it, we shall be prepared to live the truly supernatural, heavenly life the Holy Spirit can work in us—the true Christ life.

The deepest and strongest foundation for adoption is located not in the act of humans adopting humans, but in God adopting humans. And this act is not part of His ordinary providence in the world; it is at the heart of the Gospel.

A martyr is, he who has become the instrument of God, who has lost his will in the will of God, not lost it but found it, for he has found freedom in submission to God. The martyr no longer desires anything for himself, not even the glory of martyrdom.

The mercy and love of God are at work even in the midst of His enemies. It is the same Jesus Christ, Who of His grace calls us to follow Him, and Whose grace saves the murderer who mocks Him on the cross in his last hour.

Those who come to Jesus will find that His yoke is lighter, not because He demands less but because He bears the load for us.

...if we answer the call to discipleship, where will it lead us? What decisions and partings will it demand? To answer this question we shall have to go to Him, for only He knows the answer. Only Jesus Christ, Who bids us follow Him, knows the journey's end. But we do know that it will be a road of boundless mercy. Discipleship means joy.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you listen to the call of Christ, which is to live a poured out life, first you must die. John 12:11 says, "unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much fruit." And you were that grain of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, but the story doesn't end there. The Bible says, "and if it dies"–and only if it dies–"it produces much grain."
A hundred and forty-eight million orphans in the world, and Jesus said, "I will not leave you alone; I will come to you; I will not leave you orphans." How is He going to come to them? Through you and through me, through our lives, through our prayers, through our giving. Proverbs 19:17 says that when you give to the poor, you lend to God, and He will repay. Imagine God repaying us anything. The one place in the Bible that He says that when you give to the poor you lend to Me–imagine you being able to lend to our Father!
This is the call of Christ: to bring in the lame, the blind, and the sick, and the poor, and to compel them to come. They don't know that it is their right to sit at the King's table. They're living in exile and in shame and we must compel them to come and tell them "but don't you know that you were created in the image of Christ, that you are a child of the King?"
Jesus said, "as the Father has sent Me, so I also send you." This is what He said! You're called! You're chosen! "As the Father has sent me, I send you."
Who will go out and compel them to come?
- Danita Estrella
The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.
- Francis Chan
The gospel of Jesus Christ means our families and our churches ought to be at the forefront of the adoption of orphans close to home and around the world. As we become more attuned to the gospel, we'll have more of a burden for orphans. As we become more adoption friendly, we'll be better able to understand the gospel.

Cheap grace is not the kind of forgiveness of sin which frees us from the toils of sin. Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves.

Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time. Those other things will be exalted above. However the man may protest, the proof is in the choices he makes day after day throughout his life.
- Aiden Wilson Tozer
Why should we come to Jesus Christ? Not for our own benefit. We should honor and serve and love and give our lives to Jesus Christ even if we were to go to hell at the end of the road...because He is worthy!
- Paris Reidhead
Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolutism without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

No one has to force you to worship when you've beheld the Living God.
- Eric Ludy
Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field; for the sake of it a man will gladly go and sell all that he has. It is the pearl of great price to buy which the merchant will sell all his goods. It is the kingly rule of Christ, for Whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble, it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows Him.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually "Be thou exalted," and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once.
- Aiden Wilson Tozer
Worship is not a song. Worship is my response to God with all that I am to all that He is, all that He has done, is doing and will do–in me, through me, around me, and in spite of me. But it's not just a song. Worship is our response with all of our lives, everything that we've been given, to all that God is. And so if we come in here, into this place, and we raise our hands and we raise our voices, but we don't stretch these hands out when we leave this place to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and fight for the poor and for the oppressed, then what you and I have done is worshiped a singer or a song, and not God.
- Shaun Groves
If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I believe that a moment of destiny comes in the life of every child of God–the moment when God's purpose for your life hangs delicately in the balance. Death to all that you are...is the only gateway through which you may enter into the fullness of all that Christ is.
- Maj. Ian Thomas
Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him is the secret to great living.
- Amy Carmichael
God never had an identity crisis.
- Francis Chan
Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner. Above all, it is costly because it cost God the life of His Son: "ye were bought at a price," and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us. Above all, it is grace because God did not reckon His Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered Him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Let no one imagine that he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to his God. He does not by this degrade himself as a man, rather he finds his right place of high honor as one made in the image of his Creator.

No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
- Emma Goldman
To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. This is generally expressed with a sigh of sadness, but it should be an expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God.
- Oswald Chambers
Costly grace confronts us as a gracious call to follow Jesus, it comes as a word of forgiveness to the broken spirit and the contrite heart. Grace is costly because it compels a man to submit to the yoke of Christ and follow Him; it is grace because Jesus says: "My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The principle of the Gospel is this: the Gospel always brings life to the receiver and death to the giver. If the Gospel brought death to Jesus Christ, why would we think that in preaching the Gospel it would be any less for us? So, lo, He says, "if anybody would be My disciple, he must take up his cross and follow Me." If it killed Him to give life to us, and He invites us then to do the same, why would we expect that it would be any less?
Hong Kong churches, it does look as if there is another way.
Normal Christians live a normal Christian life, go to meetings, jump up and down on stages, while we are exhausted and die, and they say, "Oh, you're called to special ministry, Jackie." And I say, "Well, no, I think we're all called to give up our lives. Would you like to do this with us? We'd really like some help."
So why haven't people gone? Something to do with guarding a life and living a normal life so other people can go. But I say, "No!" Why don't you all go if you've tasted such good things? Go to the ends of the earth because those poor aren't gonna watch Jesus on TV; they haven't got electricity. They're not gonna hear about Him unless we go. So, won't you?
I'm here with a plea for you. If you've known the love of God, if you've tasted of His sweetness at all, there's no other way to serve Him except giving up your life; and this is voluntary. This is not a sentence at all; we're not sentenced to death; we're just privileged to answer His call."
- Jackie Pullinger

Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior's name!
He has hushed the law's loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai's flame.
He has washed us with His blood,
He has brought us nigh to God.
Let us love the Lord Who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
Called us by His grace and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes:
He has washed us with His blood,
He presents our souls to God.
Let us sing, though fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong Salvation,
Holds in view the conqueror's crown:
He Who washed us with His blood
Soon will bring us home to God.
Let us wonder; grace and justice
Join and point to mercy's store;
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more:
He Who washed us with His blood
Has secured our way to God.
Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high;
Here they trusted Him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky:
Now their praises fill the sky:
"Thou hast washed us with Thy blood;
Thou art worthy, Lamb of God!"
Hark! the name of Jesus, sounded
Loud, from golden harps above!
Lord, we blush and are confounded,
Faint our praises, cold our love!
Wash our souls and songs with blood,
For by Thee we come to God.

Let us never profane the sacred sacrifice of our King by seeking the benefits of Christ without the cross! Just as He gave up His life, so we are called to give up ours. It doesn't matter what makes us happy or what makes us feel good. Yes, the way is narrow and rocky and causes us pain, but that's the very road Jesus walked–and may it be our greatest privilege and joy to follow in His steps.
- Leslie Ludy
The Lord Jesus acted at all times on the assumption that His Father was handling the situation, and Jesus simply took care to obey His Father's instructions. Even when He was being reviled and tortured, "He left His case in the hands of God" (1 Peter 2:23). By this submission to His Father, Jesus "learned obedience" (Hebrews 5:8) as a Man, and the obedience was total; "He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death–even death of the Cross" (Philippians 2:8). Now, as God, He asks the same of you and me.
- Maj. Ian Thomas
God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.
- Bono
Abandonment is practiced by continually losing your own will in the will of God; by plunging your will into the depths of His will, there to be lost forever! Abandonment must reach a point where you stand in complete indifference to yourself. The attitude will bring you to the most wonderful point imaginable–where your will breaks free of you completely and becomes free to be joined to the will of God! You will desire only what He desires.

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever he may lose he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately and forever.

If we would have religion "lapped and folden in one word, for that thou shouldst have better hold thereupon, take thee but a little word of one syllable: for so it is better than of two, for even the shorter it is the better it accordeth with the work of the Spirit. And such a word is this word God or this word love."
- unknown
The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul-poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing....These blessed poor are no longer slaves to the tyranny of things. They have broken the yoke of the oppressor; and thus they have done not by fighting but by surrendering. Though free from all sense of possessing, they yet possess all things. "Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus, or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that might be said of Him. Eternity will not be long enough to learn all He is, or to praise Him for all He has done, but then, that matters not; for we shall be always with Him, and we desire nothing more.

Generosity is status quo for those possessed by Jesus. Sacrifice is everyday stuff for them. Prayer is breathing for a child of God. Reading God's written words is no anomaly for one of His. Not always easy but desired, possible--normal.
