Dare to Be Different!
If God has called you, don't spend time looking
over your shoulder to see who is following.

Dare to be different. Life is so full

Of people who follow the same push-and-pull.
Poor, plodding people who, other than name,
Try to pretend they're exactly the same.

God made each of us different; there never will be

A replica soul made of you or of me.
The charm--the glory of all creation
Rests on this very deviation.

Your charm--your own glory, too,

Lies in being uniquely you-Lies in being true to your best,
That part of you different from all of the rest.
--Helen Marshall

"Be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by

the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God"
(Romans 12:2).

To deny self is to become a nonconformist. The Bible tells us not to be

conformed to this world either physically or intellectually or spiritually.
--Billy Graham
A young man came to Dwight L. Moody, the famous American
evangelist, and said, "Mr. Moody, I want to be a Christian, but must I
give up the world?"
Moody characteristically replied, "Young man, if you live the out-andout Christian life, the world will soon give you up."

You have to have conviction or you can't live!--And then you

have to do something about your conviction, or you can't
stand to live with yourself!
--David Brandt Berg

One of the outstanding ironies of history is the utter disregard of

ranks and titles in the final judgments men pass on each other.
The final estimate of men shows that history cares not an iota for
the rank or title a man has borne, or the office he has held, but only
the quality of his deeds and the character of his mind and heart.

Florence Nightingale, who left wealth and

comfort for poverty, war, and disease to
nurse the sick, wrote in her diary:
"I am thirty years of age, the age at which
Christ began His mission. Now no more
childish things, no more vain things.
Now, Lord, let me think only of Thy will."
Years later, near the end of her illustrious,
heroic life, she was asked for her life's
secret, and she replied:
"Well, I can only give one explanation. That
is, I have kept nothing back from God."

David Livingstone, the great missionary and

explorer, said of his life:
"People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life
in Africa. Can that which is simply paid back as a small part of a great
debt we owe to our God be called a sacrifice?
Is that a sacrifice which brings its own best reward in healthful activity,
the knowledge that one is doing good, peace of mind, and a bright hope
of a glorious destiny hereafter?
It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say, rather, it is a privilege. Anxiety,
sickness, suffering, or danger now and then, with less of the common
conveniences of this life, may make us pause and cause the spirit to
waver and the soul to sink, but let this be only for a moment.
All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be
revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice!
We ought not to talk of this when we remember the great sacrifice made
by Him who left His Father's throne on high to give Himself to us."

Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle; face it.
'Tis God's gift.
Be strong!
Say not the days are evil, who's to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce--O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely
In God's name. Be strong!
It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long,
Faint not, fight on!
Tomorrow comes the song.
--Maltbie D. Babcock

It's better to die for something than to live for

nothing.
It is so easy to make excuses--legitimate, logical, reasonable,
acceptable excuses--why you can't make it, why you shouldn't be
expected to make it. And in most cases most people will accept
your excuses, because they don't have the faith either and in
excusing you they're excusing themselves.
But is God going to excuse you?
--David
Brandt Berg

You cannot stop the man of faith!

You cannot dissuade him! You cannot divert him!
He'll go on, with or without you,
or right over you, if necessary!
