Here are some good quotes from the Bible, from books I am reading, and from pastor/teacher/missionaries that I follow. Hope they challenge you like they challenged me!
"If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me." -Jesus of Nazareth (Luke 9:23)
"You must fight and you must overcome. Fight to read the Word, fight to pray, fight to overcome sin." - Paul Washer
"But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through." — Francis Chan
"God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him." — Hudson Taylor
"Nearness to God calls for tenderness of conscience, thoughtfulness in service, and implicit obedience. If we become conscious of the slightest failure, even through inadvertence, let us not excuse it, but at once humble ourselves before God, and confess it, seeking forgiveness and cleansing on the ground of the accepted sacrifice of Christ." - Hudson Taylor
"It is by the mixture of counterfeit religion with true, not discerned and distinguished, that the devil has had his greatest advantage against the cause and kingdom of Christ, all along hitherto." - Jonathon Edwards
"You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?" - Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 5:43-47)
