Jim Elliot

Missionary to Ecuador. Martyred in 1956 attempting to take the Gospel to an unreached tribe. A man with a heart for God!

The sound of “gentle stillness” after all of the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate Word from God. Tarry long for it.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Show a little faith to Him, and He gives more faith.

"Worse than staying in Egypt would be going to Canaan without the Lord."

Lord, I believe. I don’t love; I don’t feel; I don’t understand. I can only believe. Bring Thou faith to fruition.

Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed?

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

I cannot impress with my cleverness and at the same time minister to hearts and exalt the Savior.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Do away with all waverings, bewilderment, and wonder. You have bargained for a cross.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Lord, deliver me from sweet doctrinal nothings.

What a high calling is offered any who will pray, “Send me.”

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Cold prayers, like cold suitors, are seldom effective in their aims.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Determination, not desire, determines destiny.

When it comes time to die, make sure that all you have to do is die!

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Enough for policy. Now for prayer and practice.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

O God, grant me the spirit of a minor prophet!

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

God, preserve me from living a life which conforms to the general pattern.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

The Great Commission is not only a charge and a challenge, it is a prophecy concerning the future.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

What greater privilege than to be able to aid in presenting a glorious Church to such a worthy Redeemer?

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliot19]

Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.
