A Genuine Gospel Faith
A genuine gospel faith has nothing selfish about it — it never makes a man think only of his own salvation. It stirs him up, on the contrary, to concern about the souls of others.
Look to the Cross
Look to the cross; think of the cross; meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.
The Results of Missions Belong to God
Let missionaries work on patiently, and sow the good seed without fainting. Duties are theirs. Results are God’s.
We Can’t Have Enough of Christ
The New Testament begins with the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. No part of the Bible is so important as this, and no part is so full and complete. Four distinct Gospels tell us the story of Christ’s doing and dying. Four times over we read the precious account of His works and words. How thankful we ought to be for this! To know Christ is life eternal. To believe in Christ is to have peace with God. To follow Christ is to be a true Christian. To be with Christ will be heaven itself. We can never hear too much about Jesus Christ.
