Jesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us… While what we call ‚our own life‘ remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

In this world filled with challenges, we do need help from time to time. Religion, eternal truth, and our missionaries are vital parts of that help.

O, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we do adore Thee with all our hearts. Thou art Lord of all.

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

If you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.
