Prayer meetings are dead affairs when they are merely asking sessions; there is adventure, hope and life when they are believing sessions, and the faith is corporately, practically and deliberately affirmed.

I, as a human, do not become the power or love or wisdom of God; I merely contain Him who is all these, and everything.

Good morning, Lord! What are You up to today? Can I be a part of it? Thank You. Amen.

I have always believed that the Good Samaritan went across the road to the wounded man just because he wanted to.
Wilfred Grenfell (Medical Doctor, 1865 – 1940)
The privilege of prayer to me is one of the most cherished possessions, because faith and experience alike convince me that God himself sees and answers, and His answers I never venture to criticize. It is only my part to ask. If it were otherwise, I would not dare to pray at all.
Wilfred Grenfell (Medical Doctor, 1865 – 1940)
The best definition of faith that I know is that it is reason grown courageous. Moreover, that is all that Christ ever asked us for, and the reason he asked us for that was because he wants to use us. He needs our help. It is almost impossible to believe it. But God Almighty wants our help, so Christ tells us.
Wilfred Grenfell (Medical Doctor, 1865 – 1940)
The word of God is the Christian soul’s best weapon, and it is essential to have it with him always. In doubt it decides, in consultation it directs; in anxiety it reassures; in sorrow it comforts; in failure it encourages; in defense it protects; in offense it is mightier than the mighty.
Wilfred Grenfell (Medical Doctor, 1865 – 1940)
Send us people with initiative, who can carry themselves and others too; such as need to be carried hamper the work and weaken those who should be spending their strength on the heathen. Weaklings should be nursed at home! If any have jealousy, prides, or talebearing traits lurking about them, do not send them, nor any who are prone to criticize. Send only Pauls and Timothys; men who are full of zeal, holiness and power. All others are hindrances. If you send us ten such men the work will be done.
Charles Studd (Missionary, 1860 – 1931)
Real Christians revel in desperate ventures for Christ, expecting from God great things and attempting the same with exhilaration.
Charles Studd (Missionary, 1860 – 1931)
I cannot tell you what joy it gave me to bring the first soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have tasted almost all the pleasures that this world can give. I do not suppose there is one that I have not experienced, but I can tell you that those pleasures were as nothing compared to the joy that the saving of that one soul gave me.
Charles Studd (Missionary, 1860 – 1931)
