Standing pools gather mud, and nourish and breed venomous creatures; and so do the idle and slothful Christians.

There’s no better way to become involved in God’s work than this – Dick Eastman
In no other way can the believer become as fully involved with God’s work, especially the work of world evangelism, as in intercessory prayer.

Diligent in your work – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men (Colossians 3:23).
It is right for Christians to be diligent in business. They have good conscience that oils the wheels. “A merry heart does good, like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). A light heart makes easy work.

Are you a doer or a talker? – John Bunyan
At the day of Doom men shall be judged according to their fruits. It will not be said then, did you believe? But, were you doers or talkers only?

We don’t have to do exceptional things – Oswald Chambers
The “show business,” which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from our Lord’s conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.
– Oswald Chambers –
Work done in God’s way – Erwin Lutzer
It is not enough to do God’s work; it must be done in His way and for His credit.

Too busy for God? – AB Christiansen
Too busy? O forgive, dear Lord, that I should ever be, too much engrossed in earthly tasks, to spend an hour with thee.

Every work of God can be traced to this – DL Moody
Every work of God can be traced to some kneeling form.

Prayer is my chief work – Thomas Hooker
Prayer is my chief work, and it is by means of it that I carry on the rest.
