 Give It For Jesus
By
Jim West
t should not be too much for even the casual observer of North American church life to deduce that we are living in and through a generation satisfied by “Convenient Christianity.” Most of the Church is content to be as little engaged in the Great Commission as possible, “Please don't ask me to do too much. I just want to come to church, see my friends, sing some songs, hear a message that doesn't ask too much of me, give a little money, pray a little, go home and do it all over again next Sunday.”

Heart of Love
By
John Zumwalt
She stepped out from behind the bus and into eternity, a truck ripping her from the two children safely behind the bus. The young mother's lifeless and crushed body lay in the road.
The driver spit out the window and cursed her stupidity. My missionary friend jumped to his feet. “There are little children back there, and now they are all alone. We can not just leave them!” People all around him jeered, “Why do you care? They are not your children.”

Passion for Jesus
By
Oswald Chambers
“Ye shall be witnesses unto Me.” These words of our Risen Lord (Acts 1:8) were spoken just before His ascension. We have to be careful lest we make the passionate watchwords, “a passion for souls” and “a passion for Christ,” into rival cries.
The great passion that the Holy Ghost works in us, whereby He expresses the redemption of our Lord in and through us in practical ways, is the passion for Jesus Christ Himself. “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me”—not witnesses only to what Jesus has done or can do, but witnesses who are an infinite satisfaction to His own heart wherever they are placed. The danger in the modern form of Christianity is its departure more and more from the great central figure of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The People of the Book
By
Don Richardson
“If the inhabitants of that village are not Burmese,” asked a sun-helmeted English diplomat, “what do they call themselves?”
“Karen,” replied the diplomat's Burmese guide.
“Carian,” mispronounced the Englishman. The guide left the mistake uncorrected. A Scotsman could have duplicated the Asiatic way of flipping the tongue on an r, but the guide had long ago given up trying to persuade Englishmen that the difference was worth mastering.

A Willing Heart is Not Enough
By
Harold Jackson
God's desire for the whole world is expressed clearly in I Timothy 2:3,4 where we read, “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” Paul writes in I Corinthians 15:34 that it is to the “shame” of believers that there were those living “who have not the knowledge of God.” This all indicates God's need and desire for believers to go forth sharing the Gospel of the grace of God. This is further emphasized by our Lord in Luke 10:2 where He calls our attention to the great harvest and commands us to pray. “Therefore said He unto them, ‘The harvest is truly great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.'”
