"We are not saved by service, but we are saved to service." Charles Spurgeon
"Anything can stand in the way of true discipleship—not just evil…but anything. Nor should it be surprising that the greatest competitors for our devotion and affection for God would be some of his most precious gifts." John Piper
"We will have eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them." Amy Carmichael
