Timeless Applications

From a brother:

A young man asked the aged Fredrick Douglas (a black leader in the Civil War era) what he should do with his life.

Mr. Douglas replied, “Agitate, agitate, agitate.”

In other words, for us: Don’t get comfortable. Keep poking and prodding and pushing for change, within yourself—and for Jesus’ sake in His Kingdom, and on His planet. Agitate! Churn! Watch and Pray and Live fully for Him, and risk it all for His honor. Don’t make peace with anything less than His Best and Highest! : )

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” (George Bernard Shaw)

Albert Einstein said it this way: “The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

“REFUSE TO BE AVERAGE—or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.” (A.W. Tozer)

“There is neither encouragement nor room in bible religion for feeble desires, listless efforts, or lazy attitudes. All must be strenuous, urgent, ardent, flamed desires. Impassioned, and unwearied insistence delight heaven. God would have His children incorrigibly in earnest and persistently bold in their efforts.” (E.M. Bounds)
