The Result Of Charity In Missions

The Result Of Charity In Missions
Here is a man who gives a thousand dollars to the missionary cause. Men cry out, “What a waste! what’s the use of sending New Testaments and missionaries, and spending your money in that way? Why don’t you send plows, and corn threshers, and locomotives, and telegraphs!”

But is it a waste? Ask the nations that have been saved; “Have not religious always preceded financial blessings?” Show me a nation where the Gospel of Christ triumphs, and I will show you a community prospered in a worldly sense.

It is a waste to comfort the distressed, to instruct the ignorant, to back the immoral, to capture for God the innumerable hosts of men who erst with quick feet were tramping the way to hell? Alas! for the man who has nothing better than “greenbacks” and Government securities!

There is no safe investment save that which is made in the bank, of which God holds the keys.—TALMAGE.

Holy Hatred of Sin

John MacArthur

We desperately need to recover a holy hatred of sin. We need to do this corporately as a church, but we also need to do it individually as believers. Sin is surely not a pleasant subject to study or preach on, but it is necessary.

Calm And Quiet

David Jeremiah

According to medical researchers at Duke University, there is a “vicious cycle” involving insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It’s sort of a “which came first: the chicken or the egg?” scenario.

The Rope of Prayer

David Jeremiah

Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God’s help.

The Initiative Against Depression

Oswald Chambers

A human being is capable of depression, otherwise there would be no capacity for exaltation. There are things that are calculated to depress, things that are of the nature of death; and in taking an estimate of yourself, always take into account the capacity for depression.

The Inspiration of Spiritual Initiative

Oswald Chambers

When the inspiration of God does come, it comes with such miraculous power that we are able to arise from the dead and do the impossible thing. God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.
