Something to Think About: Quotes & Verses

"I have but one candle to burn and I would rather let it shine in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light." Unknown

"I often ask Christians, 'What’s the biggest thing you’ve asked God for this week?' I remind them that they are going to God, the Father, the Maker of the Universe. The One who holds the world in His hands. What did you ask for? Did you ask for peanuts, toys, trinkets, or did you ask for continents? I want to tell you, it’s tragic! The little itsy-bitsy things we ask of our Almighty God. Sure, nothing is too small—but also nothing is too big. Let’s learn to ask from our big God some of those big things He talks about in Jeremiah 33:3: 'Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things that thou knowest not.'" Dawson Trotman

"The great tragedy in this life lies not in the fact of dying, but what dies inside of us while we live." Norman Cousins

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot

"God uses what you have to fill a need which you never could have filled. God uses where you are to take you where you never could have gone. God uses what you do to accomplish what you never could have done. God uses who you are to let you become who you never could have been." Phillip Clarke Brewer

"Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord." Psalm 117

"If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Isaiah 58:10

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor." Luke 4:18

"After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb." Revelation 7:9
