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.

Too often we attempt to work for God to the limit of our incompetency, rather than to the limit of God's omnipotency.

The Lord IS my shepherd. Not was, not may be, nor will be. . . is my shepherd on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year, is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and is in war; in abundance, and in penury.

I myself, for instance, am not especially gifted, and am shy by nature, but my gracious and merciful God and Father inclined Himself to me, and when I was weak in faith He strengthened me while I was still young. He taught me in my helplessness to rest on Him, and to pray even about little things in which another might have felt able to help himself.

Not infrequently our GOD brings His people into difficulties on purpose that they may come to know Him as they could not otherwise do.

If this is a real work for God it is a real conflict with Satan.
