Jim Elliot quotes
Jim Elliot was an American Christian missionary known for his work in Ecuador. His dedication to spreading his faith led him to work among the indigenous Huaorani people. He became widely known after he was killed while attempting to share Christianity with the tribe. Here are 16 of his quotes:
No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him. We need more of this 'being asleep' in the will of God. Then we can receive what He brings us in His own time, if at all. Instead we are set as bloodhounds after a partner, considering everyone we see until our minds are so concerned with the sex problem that we can talk of nothing else when bull-session time comes around. It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners!
