"I lack the fervency, vitality, life, in prayer which I long for. I know that many consider it fanaticism when they hear anything which does not conform to the conventional, sleep-inducing eulogies so often rising from Laodicean lips; but I know too that these same people can acquiescently tolerate sin in their lives and in the church without so much as tilting one hair of their eyebrows." - Jim Elliot

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There
will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the
beginning of birth pains... 28"Now learn this lesson
from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come
out, you know that summer is near. 29Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. 30I tell you the truth, this generation[e] will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." - Jesus quoted in Mark 13
