"All this I did for you, what are you doing for Me?"

Worlds Apart

MISSIONARY OF THE MOMENT:

WILLIAM BORDEN (OF YALE)

"No reserves. No retreats. No regrets."

(the following passage is not my own, and has been borrowed from course documents in the class, "Foundations for Global Christianity 215," of Gordon College)

Yale graduate and heir to great wealth, rejected a life of ease in order to bring the gospel to Muslims. Refusing even to buy himself a car, Borden gave away hundreds of thousands of dollars to missions. In 1912, he joined China Inland Mission. He sailed first to Cairo, Egypt to study Arabic. After only four months of zealous ministry in Egypt, he contracted spinal meningitis and died at the age of twenty-five. The epitaph on Borden's grave, after describing his love and sacrifices for the kingdom of God and for Muslim people, ends with "Apart from faith in Christ, there is no explanation for such a life."

When You Say Nothing At All

It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.

3 John 1:3

Sometimes being God's children means that we literally have to

walk in faith.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

Psalm 101:6

Living Prayer

you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:5

Living Prayers in my life:

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Romans 12:1

This Week the Trend

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.

PSALM 54:4

I felt so blessed after listening to this song.

Just knowing that other citizens out there desire more moral cleanliness, and goodness in general, is refreshing!

Enjoy :)

Maintain Consciousness

And because of my chains,

most of the brothers and sisters

have become confident in the Lord

and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel

without fear.

Philippians 1:14

What chains have you bore

that has led someone

to become more

confident in proclaiming the gospel?
