The level of sacrifice that a vision requires will determine the size of the people who follow. Sacrifice separates the small from the great. ” Kris Vollotton, (“The Power of a Vision, ” 8/10/09)

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
