doors years missionary
For five years we never went outside our doors without a volley of curses from our neighbours.
christian prayer mean
Funds are low again, hallelujah! That means God trusts us and is willing to leave His reputation in our hands.
prayer hypocrisy time-flies
Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy... Don't hedge! Time flies! ... Enlist!
joy missionary given
My only joys therefore are that when God has given me a work to do, I have not refused it.
missionary bones good-things
A good thing to have up your sleeve is a sanctified funny-bone.
jesus mean winning
...I do not say, Don't play games or cricket and so forth. By all means play and enjoy them, giving thanks to Jesus for them. Only take care that games do not become an idol to you as they did to me. What good will it do to anybody in the next world to have been the best player that ever has been? And then think of the difference between that and winning souls for Jesus.
loneliness heart wish
Sometimes I feel... that my cross is heavy beyond endurance... My heart seems worn out and bruised beyond repair, and in my deep loneliness I often wish to be gone, but God knows best, and I want to do every ounce of work He wants me to do.
simple different missionary
I realized that my life was to be one of simple, childlike faith, and that my part was to trust, not to do. I was to trust in Him and He would work in me to do His good pleasure. From that time my life was different.
real men soldier
It takes a real man to make a true confession-a Chocolate Soldier will excuse or cloak his sin.
jesus wall sea
Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible, by faith in the omnipotence, fidelity, and wisdom of the Almighty Saviour Who gave the command. Is there a wall in our path? By our God we will leap over it! Are there lions and scorpions in our way? We will trample them under our feet! Does a mountain bar our progress? Saying, 'Be thou cast into the sea,' we will march on. Soldiers of Jesus! Never surrender!
lying blood lame
Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist!
jesus giving joy
I cannot tell you what joy it gave me to bring the first soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have tasted almost all the pleasures that this world can give. I do not suppose there is one that I have not experienced, but I can tell you that those pleasures were as nothing compared to the joy that the saving of that one soul gave me.
people missionary christianity
Had I cared for the comments of people, I should never have been a missionary.
missionary want impossible
Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.
