God called me to get the gospel to millions

Why do more preachers not surrender to be missionaries? https://t.co/JhXfPY77DP

[Andrew Murray @AndrewM34496187]

the chief end of the preaching in a congregation ought to be to train it to take its part in helping the Church to fulfil her destiny.

He has made peace by the blood of His cross. He has given us His own peace. We are called to let His peace rule in our hearts. And if we will but bring our burdens & cares to Him, we are promised that the peace of God shall guard & garrison our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus

The Egyptian sought in vain to make the mortal body incorruptible by embalming it. But we have to bury our dead out of our sight, and the believer is taught to look forward to the resurrection.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

Death was brought into the world by sin; and, like all the other consequences of sin, it is loathsome and defiling. Man seeks to adorn death; the pageantry of the funeral, the attractiveness of the cemetery, all show this.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

The good works of the unsaved may indeed benefit their fellow-creatures; but until life in Christ has been received, they cannot please God.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

When they have learnt to move man through God at home, they will be the better prepared to do the same thing in the mission-field. Where there is fitness for the work, the way will probably be made plain after a time of patient waiting.

Young Christians are sometimes distressed because their desire to preach the Gospel to the heathen has been opposed by parents: such should be encouraged to thank God for the obstacle; and to seek by prayer its removal.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

And shall not we, who are not our own, but bought with a price, gladly render to Him all we are and have—every member of our body, every fibre of our being, every faculty of our mind, all our will-power, and all our love?

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

You, dear reader, know th Master’s choice; what is YOURS? is it to do His will even if it mean to leave all for Him, to give all to Him?

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

Christ could not remain in His Father’s bosom and redeem the world; missionaries cannot win the heathen and enjoy their home surroundings; nor can they be adequately sustained without the loving sacrifices of many friends and donors.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

Do you know of any earnest, devoted young men, desirous of serving GOD in China; who, not wishing for more than their expenses, would be willing to come out and labour here? They would probably preach in Chinese in six months.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

O fear the LORD, ye His saints; for there is no want to them that fear Him. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.’ (And if not good, why want anything?) ‘None of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.’

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

‘O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.’ ‘O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

We could not help our eyes filling with tears of gratitude, when we saw not only ourselves supplied, but the widows and orphans, the blind and the lame, the friendless and the destitute, together provided for, by the bounty of Him who feeds the ravens.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

Oh! it is sweet thus to live directly dependent on the LORD, who never fails us.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

over our mantel-piece are two rolls in the Chinese character, ‘Ebenezer’ (Hitherto hath the LORD helped us), and ‘Jehovah Jireh’ (The LORD will provide); and He gave us not to doubt for a moment.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

And ‘my GOD will supply all my need:’ to Him be all the glory. I would not be otherwise than as I am, dependent myself on the LORD, and used as a means of helping others.

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

Many think I am very poor. This certainly is true enough in one sense; but, thank GOD, it is ‘poor and making many rich; having nothing, yet possessing all things.'

[Hudson Taylor China @HudsonTaylorCh2]

I saw GOD, in answer to prayer, raise up labourers not a few for this vast mission-field; supplying the means requisite for their outfit, passage, and support; and vouchsafing blessing on the efforts of many of them, both among the native Christians and the heathen Chinese
