FAITH IS AN ACT OF WILL

Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling - feelings don't help much when you're in the lions' den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work. It is an act of will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed us what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ. - Elisabeth Elliott

DEVILS

"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them." - CS Lewis

REALLY BELIEVING IN GOD

Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself. 
                                                         ― Madeleine L'Engle

TRUSTING GOD

I don't need to know how God is going to make it all come out all right in the end, but it is God, not us creatures, who will see to the coming of the Kingdom.... God be in my thoughts, and in my heart. In my left hand and in my right hand. Atone me. At-one me with you and your love. Help me to pray for those I fear as well as those I love, knowing that you can take my most ungracious prayers and give them grace. Madeline L'Engle-a Stone for a Pillow

DISCIPLESHIP IS NOT "SAFE"

"When our need for security becomes obsessive, we remove ourselves from the journey of discipleship." Michael Frost & Alan Hirsch - The Faith of LeapBottom of Form
