“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” —Corrie ten Boom
*Cornelia “Corrie” ten Boom (Amsterdam, April 15, 1892 – Orange, California, April 15, 1983) was a Dutch Christian, who with her father and other family members helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II. Her family was arrested due to an informant in 1944, and her father died 10 days later at Scheveningen prison where they were first held. A sister, brother and nephew were released, but Corrie and her sister Betsie were sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, where only Corrie survived. Ten Boom wrote eight books and spoke frequently in the postwar years about her experiences. She aided Holocaust survivors. She wrote an autobiography, The Hiding Place (1971), about her experiences. It was adapted as a film of the same name two years later and starred Jeannette Clift as Corrie.

I was privileged to study at Multnomah School of the Bible (B.S. - 1988); Talbot School of Theology (M.Div. - 1991); Westminster Theological Seminary & Northwest Graduate School (D. Min. - 2003). I founded Vertical Living Ministries in 2008 with the goal of encouraging Christian Disciples and Leaders to be more intentionally Christ-Centered in how they live by bringing glory to God in nine key areas of life: (1) Intimacy with God, (2) marriage, (3) family, (4) friendship, (5) vocationally/ministry , (6) emotional and physical health, (7) stewardship of resources, (8) discipleship, and (9) mentoring.

Amen! to the Corrie ten Boom quote. & Here’s a few from Leonard Ravenhill, a dear and wonderful man of God. (he’s with Him now as we speak)
“Church unity comes from corporate humility.”
“You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.”
“Many pastors criticize me for taking the Gospel so seriously. But do they really think that on Judgment Day, Christ will chastise me, saying, ‘Leonard, you took Me too seriously’?”
“If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.”
“You can know a lot about the atonement, and yet receive no benefit from it.”
“If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.”
I might even add one more that I heard him say in a sermon …. “Calvary has become a tourist attraction. A lot of people are going to Calvary….not many of them are getting on the cross……”
