Elisabeth Elliot Quote

The ways of the world exalt themselves against God. They sometimes look rational and appealing to the most ernest disciple but Christ says to us then what He said to His disciples long ago, when many of them had given u pin disgust, Do you also want to leave me? If we answer as PEter did, Lord to whom else shall we go? Your words are words of eternal life, our rebel thoughts are captured once more. The way of holiness is again visible.
