Jonathan Goforth (Confess)

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)

Jonathan Goforth (Amends)

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)

Jonathan Goforth (Revival)

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)

Isobel Kuhn (Heartache)

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.

Isobel Kuhn (Missionary, 1901 – 1957)

Isobel Kuhn (Missionary)

Did you think that the missionary path was all glory? Than you have not read of God’s greatest Messenger to earth, who sat and wept over Jerusalem, crying out, ʻI would… but ye would not.ʼ

Isobel Kuhn (Missionary, 1901 – 1957)
