Get rid of this bunkum about the “carnal Christian”. Forget it! If you’re carnal, you’re not saved.

Christian Life
When circumstances wreck our lives – Eric Liddell
Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God’s love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.
– Eric Liddell –
If God has called you – Gladys Aylward
If God has called you to China or any other place and you are sure in your own heart, let nothing deter you. Remember, it is God who has called you and it is the same as when He called Moses or Samuel.
– Gladys Aylward –
Success and Sacrifice – Adoniram Judson
There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.
– Adoniram Judson –
A way through difficulty – WT Purkiser
God does not offer us a way out of the testings of life. He offers us a way through, and that makes all the difference.
– WT Purkiser –
Am I willing to go? – George Muller
When we ask God for a thing, such as that He would be pleased to raise up labourers for His harvest, or send means for the carrying on of His work, the honest question to be put to our hearts should be this: Am I willing to go, if He should call me? Am I willing to give according to my ability? For we may be the very persons whom the Lord will call for the work, or whose means He may wish to employ.
– George Muller –
Principles and Practices – Jonathan Edwards
People are very apt to bring their principles to their practices and not their practices to their principles, as they ought to do. They, in their practice, do not comply with their consciences; all their strife is about bringing their consciences to comply with their practice.
– Jonathan Edwards –
God Owns All – Clovis G. Chappell
God owns all; He owns me; He owns my home; He owns my children; He owns my property. I have called your attention before to the fact that the modern idea of ownership is pagan. The Christian idea is this: that God is the absolute owner of all things.
– Clovis G. Chappell –
Truth and Sin – Oswald Chambers
It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God’s truth and remain in sin.
