Obedience
Our Lord’s First Obedience – Oswald Chambers
Our Lord’s first obedience was the will of His Father, not to the needs of men. The saving of men was the natural outcome of His obedience to the Father.

Obedience and Love – Oswald Chambers
Our Lord’s first obedience was to the will of His Father, not to the needs of men: his obedience brought the outcome of the saving of men. If I am devoted to the cause of humanity only, I will soon be exhausted and come to the place where my love will falter; but if I love Jesus Christ personally and passionately, I can serve humanity though men treat me as a doormat.

How to Live Victoriously – Samuel Logan Brengle
Sin does not leap upon us fully armed. It steals in through a look, a swift, silent suggestion or imagination, but love and loyalty to Jesus will make you watchful and swift to rise up and cast out the subtle enemy. Do this and you shall live, and live victoriously.

I believe that in each generation God has called enough men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth. It is not God who does not call. It is man who will not respond!

There is nothing in the world or the Church — except the church’s disobedience — to render the evangelization of the world in this generation an impossibility.
