Love that leads the way – Amy Carmichael

Give me the love that leads the way
The faith that nothing can dismay
The hope no disappointments tire
The passion that will burn like fire
Let me not sink to be a clod
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God!”

Come Do This With Me – Oswald Chambers

A child always admires anyone with skill, and the teacher who says, “Do this and that has no influence over a child compared with the one who says, “Come and do this with me.” When a child has seen his teacher do a thing and is asked to do it, instantly the instinct of emulation is at work.

About John Newton

John Newton was not bothered by the telephone, but he was by people coming to his home. He said, “When I hear a knock at my study door, I hear a message from God; it may be a message of instruction; perhaps a lesson of patience; but, since it is His message, it must be interesting.”

Quoted in the book On Being a Pastor by Derek Prime and Alistair Begg

Need Faith to be Useful – Charles Spurgeon

“According to your faith be it unto you.”(Matt 9:29)  It is essential, then, that we should have faith if we are to be useful, and that we should have great faith if we are to be greatly useful.

Lead Me That I May Know How I Ought To Declare – William Burns

How hard it is to unite in just proportions the humbling doctrine of man’s inability to come to Christ without regeneration, and the free gospel offer which is the moral means employed by God in conversion! Oh! Spirit of Jesus, my Saviour, lead me, a poor, ignorant, and self-conceited sinner, to the experience of this great mystery of grace, that I may know how I ought to declare thy glorious gospel to perishing fellow-sinners! Amen.
