QUOTES --- QUOTES --- QUOTES --- “One of the dangers of living in a constant state of distraction is that we never go to the bottom of our pain, our sadness, our emptiness, which means we never find that rock-bottom place of the peace that passes understanding and rest ourselves there.” - Ruth Haley Barton“The most dangerous distractions are the ones you love, but that don't love you back.” - Warren Buffet“A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hands of God. I am persuaded that I shall obtain the highest amount of present happiness, I shall do most for God's glory and the good of man, and I shall have the fullest reward in eternity, by maintaining a conscience always washed in Christ's blood, by being filled with the Holy Spirit at all times, and by attaining the most entire likeness to Christ in mind, will, and heart, that it is possible for a redeemed sinner to attain to in this world.” - Robert Murray McCheyne“The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people.” - A. W. Tozer“When we pray for the Spirit's help...we will simply fall down at the Lord's feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.” - Andrew Murray“I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need.” - Charles Spurgeon
