I realized mechanical engineering doesn't much lend itself to missionary work.
The most important of the Lord's work you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home.
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
God uses people. God uses people to perform His work. He does not send angels. Angels weep over it, but God does not use angels to accomplish His purposes. He uses burdened broken-hearted weeping men and women.
God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.
The evidence of justification by faith is the ongoing work of sanctification through the Holy Spirit.
Hudson Taylor said, "The Lord's work done in the Lord's way will never fail to have the Lord's provision." ...The Lord's work done in human energy is not the Lord's work any longer. It is something, but it is not the Lord's work.
Since God is the one who calls people to their work, the worker becomes a steward who serves God.
When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own
Maintaining joy in God takes 'work'; that is, it's a fight against every impulse for alien joys and every obstacle in the way to seeing and savoring Christ.
Love for the Lord, love for His servants the missionaries. Missionary work is a work of love and trust, and it has to be done on that basis.
Many people have come to Christ as a result of my participation in presenting the Gospel to them. It's all the work of the Holy Spirit.
Work is prayer. Work is also stink. Therefore stink is prayer.
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Calmness is the criterion of spiritual progress. Plunge the purified mind into the Heart. Then the work is over.
Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
The real spiritual journey is work. You can make a naïve assertion that you trust in Jesus, but until it is tested a good, oh, 200 times, I doubt very much that it's true.
I'm very happy. I like my work and the various aspects of it - going around the world, teaching the gospel according to St. Albert.
It has been well said that if a great king should bring us a great heap of gold, and bid us take as much as we could count in a day, we should make a long day of it; but to win souls is far nobler work. How is it that we so soon withdraw from it?
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.
Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment 'as to the Lord.' It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for. The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.
The Gita is not an aphoristic work, it is a great religious poem.
Church work ought to be at its core the work of loving people like God loves them
We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second
Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.
