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.

What God’s Love Can’t Do

Billy Graham

God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected. God will not force Himself upon any man against his will.

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar

Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar

Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart

This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.
