God witholds blessing only in wisdom

“God witholds blessing only in wisdom, never in spite or aloofness.”
“The setting up of men on the platform discourages contributions from the floor.”
“So what if the well-fed church in the homeland needs stirring? They have the Scriptures, Moses and the Prophets, and a whole lot more. Their condemnation is written on their bank books and in the dust on their Bible covers. American believers have sold their lives to the service of Mammon, and God has His rightful way of dealing with those who succumb to the spirit of Laodicea.”
“None know the scriptures well because of the devilish schemes of the clergy to keep them from thinking for themselves.”
“They do not lack desire, but practical devotion, a setting to the task.”
“J. says ‘the worship service is most satisfying to me as an individual.’ What in all eternity has that got to do with it? Have her personal likes and dislikes any right to dictate method in the holy church of God?”
“Ah for a place where Scriptures have not been twisted!”
“There is no need to apologize for one’s action, nor defend it if he is sure of God’s will.”

- Jim Elliot from “Shadow of the Almighty”

Lord, I pray that you would free me from the captor who has me in bondage. Please, make him release me so that I may serve you whole-heartedly. You know who my captor is, he is me.
