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.

Christian Life
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.
– Oswald Chambers –
True Grace – Randy Alcorn
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.
– Randy Alcorn –
Dare to be Holy – William Gurnall
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by this heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
– William Gurnall –
