“I have devoted myself to architecture as a sublime act of poetic imagination. Consequently, I am only a symbol for all those who have been touched by beauty. The words Beauty, Inspiration, Magic, Spellbound, Enchantment, as well as the concepts of Serenity, Silence, Intimacy and Amazement, all these have nestled in my soul. Though I am fully aware that I have not done them complete justice in my work, they have never ceased to be my guiding lights.” WellsHas BeensSoulDoneLightInspirationImaginationJusticeSilenceMagicConceptsArchitectureMy SoulSymbolsIntimacyTouchedPoeticSerenityDevotedSublimeEnchantmentAmazementGuiding Light Author:Luis Barragan

“Our work is not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God's sovereign grace, and our work as His disciples is to disciple others' lives until they are totally yielded to God. One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit. As workers for God, we must reproduce our own kind spiritually, and those lives will be God's testimony to us as His workers. God brings us up to a standard of life through His grace, and we are responsible for reproducing that same standard in others.” KindHas BeensSoulSpiritValuesGraceStandardsHundredResponsibleSalvationWorkersDevotedDiscipleSovereignTestimonyAwakenedSanctificationReproducing Author:Oswald Chambers
