Oswald Chambers Quote
We need to learn this secret of the burning heart. When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.
From Luke 24:30-32: [On the road to Emmaus] “When He was at the table with them, He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight. They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while He was talking to us on the road, while He was opening the scriptures to us?'”
William Shatner Quotes
Mysteries simply are a feast for an active mind.
Conquest is easy. Control is not.
Matthew Arnold Quote
We cannot kindle when we will
The fire which in the heart resides,
The spirit bloweth and is still,
In mystery our soul abides;
But tasks in hours or insight will’d
Can be through hours of gloom fulfill’d
From Luke 24:30-32: [On the road to Emmaus] “When He was at the table with them, He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight. They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while He was talking to us on the road, while He was opening the scriptures to us?'”

Dorothea Brande Quote
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
From 2 Peter 1:5-7: “For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower Quotes
Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving subordinates credit for everything that goes well.
We the people, elect leaders not to rule but to serve.

Charles Stanley Quote
To be called children of God means that we earnestly seek His redemption–not just for ourselves but for the whole world.
From Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
John Calvin Quote
Hope is nothing else than the expectation of those things which faith has believed to have been truly promised by God.
From Romans 8:24-25: “For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.”
