Doug Nichols went to India to be a missionary, but at the start of his language study he became infected with tuberculosis and was admitted to a sanatorium. It was not a very good place to be. It was not very clean and conditions were difficult because there were so many sick people there. Doug decided to do the best he could in that situation.

When you belong to Jesus Christ, you start to do some “eternity thinking” about the people you love. You begin to wonder, “Will they be in heaven with me?” Yet the people we most want in heaven with us are often the hardest to talk to about Christ.There are steps we can take to more effectively communicate Christ to those closest to us.

Stress in God’s Service

Whether we are ordained ministers or lay people, we aren't exempt from stress.
A deadly combination of traits, seen frequently in those serving God, produces inferiority and perfectionism—traits that make us obsessive-compulsive performers who think we're inadequate and that our service is never satisfactory.

God can use our “failures”

Catherine Slight and Lin Pearson — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 19:46:25 +0000

The great preacher C H Spurgeon once preached what in his judgment was one of his poorest sermons. He stammered and floundered, and when he got through he felt that it had been a complete failure. He was greatly humiliated, and when he got home he fell on his knees and said, “Lord, God, Thou canst do something with nothing. Bless that poor sermon.” And all through the week he uttered that prayer.

Thomas Chalmers said: "Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world. But a blank he cannot be."
Here are some quotes to inspire us.

Effective Service

Catherine Slight and Lin Pearson — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:13:19 +0000

We ought to be Martha and Mary in one. We should do much service and have much communion at the same time. For this we need great grace. It is easier to serve than to commune. Joshua never grew weary in fighting the Amalekites, but Moses, on the top of the mountain in prayer, needed two helpers to sustain his hands.

Am I a Failure?

Catherine Slight and Lin Pearson — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 21:06:09 +0000

Failure does not mean I’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something;

Failure does not mean I have been a fool,
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure does not mean I’ve been disgraced;
It does mean I dared to try.
