Doing God's Work--God's Way

"Yet another way of working is to begin with God; to ask His plans, and to offer ourselves to Him to carry out His purposes." -- Hudson Taylor (Emphasis supplied). Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching and Preachers, W. Wiersbe, p. 243.

'My name is I AM'

"I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking. 'My name is I AM.' He paused, I waited. He continued. 'When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets it is hard. I am not there. My name is not, I WAS. When you live in the future with its problems and fears it is hard. I am not there. My name is not, I WILL BE. But when you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM.'" - Helen Malacoat

Faith and Hope

"…Faith looks backward—hope looks onward and upward. Faith is concerned with the Person who promises—hope with the One and the things promised. Faith accepts—hope expects. Faith appropriates—hope anticipates. Faith believes and takes—hope desires and waits. Faith comes by hearing—hope comes by experience. Faith the root—hope is the fruit." -- G.H. Knight
