QUOTES

Gratitude: “the expression of a free heart toward one who freely gave.”

“The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become.” - Henry Martyn

Two men denied Christ. Judas, who then ended his life. And Peter, who repented and then devoted his life to Christ.

“It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think of the ale-house in church.” - Martin Luther

“Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?” - William Carey

“God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.” - Hudson Taylor

“God isn’t looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him.” - Hudson Taylor

“When dreams shatter and God disappears, (that is when God does) what He could not do if we could see Him.” L. Crabb

“Is it so hard to contemplate that the God who became a man and ‘moved into the neighbourhood’ should still want to work in our lives and our world?’” - Punk Monk

“What we believe about God is the most important thing about us.” - A.W. Tozer

Remember: don’t try harder. Instead, give up more - surrender more to God.
