It is not so much the greatness of our troubles, as the littleness of our spirit, which makes us complain.

God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him

If I had 1,000 lives, I'd give them all for China.

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.

There are three stages in the work of God: impossible, difficult,done.

To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, Come to me and rest. But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same invitation is meant. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service, and do not mistake it. It is not, Go, labor on, as perhaps you imagine. On the contrary, it is stop, turn back, Come to me and rest. Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work; never, never did He send a hungry one, a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service. For such the Bible only says, Come, come, come.

In nothing do we fail more, as a Mission, than in lack of tact and politeness.
