Prayer has been hedged about with too many man-made rules. I am convinced that God has intended prayer to be as simple and natural, and as constant a part of our spiritual life, as the intercourse between child and parent in the home. And as a large part of that intercourse between child and parent is simply asking and receiving, just so is it with us and our Heavenly Parent.
Rosalind Goforth (Missionary, 1864 – 1942)
It is true that there is nothing too great for God’s power; and it is just as true that there is nothing too small for His love.
Rosalind Goforth (Missionary, 1864 – 1942)
Who am I that I should urge these missionaries to confess their sins in public, when, for all I know, they may be living nearer to God than I am? The Spirit of God does not need me to act as His detective.
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
It is vain for us to pray while conscious that we have injured another. Let us first make amends to the injured one before we dare approach God at either the private or the public altar.
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
Seek to give much — expect nothing.
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
Seek each day to do or say something to further Christianity among the heathen.
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
All the resources of the Godhead are at our disposal!
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
If revival is being withheld from us it is because some idol remains still enthroned; because we still insist in placing our reliance in human schemes; because we still refuse to face the unchangeable truth that It is not by might, but by My Spirit.
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
In all things seek to know God’s Will and when known obey at any cost.
Jonathan Goforth (Missionary, 1860 – 1936)
Part of the heartache of all missionary work is the bright promising convert who turns out to be a mere puffball, crumbling like a macaroon under the least pressure.
