Hudson Taylor quotes about
christian effort missionary
If the Lord is coming soon, is this not a very practical motive for greater missionary effort? I know of no other motive that has been so stimulating to myself.
home dwelling evil
We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth. We tell people the world is vain; let our lives manifest that it is so. We tell them that our home is above and that all these things are transitory. Does our dwelling look like it? O to live consistent lives!
suffering comfort dare
it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.
christian might helping
I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.
jesus bears
Jesus is our strength, and what we cannot do or bear, He can both do and bear in us.
blessing soul my-soul
The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become.
eye done way
Let us see that we keep God before our eyes; that we walk in His ways and seek to please and glorify Him in everything, great and small. Depend upon it, God's work, done in God's way, will never lack God's supplies.
running waiting risk
If we wait till we run no risk, the gospel will never be introduced into the interior,
grace and-love platforms
All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.
spiritual prayer blessing
As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.
christian prayer mean
In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting, which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of grace. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to our work is our own imagined strength; and in fasting we learn what poor, weak creatures we are-dependent on a meal of meat for the little strength which we are so apt to lean upon.
home sight special
If in the sight of God you cannot say you are sure that you have a special call to stay at home, why are you disobeying the Saviour's plain command to go?
real men joy
Would that God would make hell so real to us that we cannot rest; heaven so real that we must have men there, Christ so real that our supreme motive and aim shall be to make the Man of Sorrows the Man of Joy by the conversion to him of many.
christian religious may
Satan, the Hinderer, may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.
