James Hudson Taylor quotes
We are taking our four little children, and I never need anyone to remind me that they need their breakfast... dinner... supper. And I cannot imagine that our heavenly Father is less able or less willing to remember His children's needs, when He sends them forth to the end of the earth about His business.
James Hudson Taylor
At home you can never know what it is to be alone – absolutely alone, amidst thousands, as you can in a Chinese city, without one friend, one companion, everyone looking on you with curiosity, with contempt, with suspicion or with dislike. Thus to learn what it is to be despised and rejected of men – of those you wish to benefit, your motives not understood... and then to have the love of Jesus applied to your heart by the Holy Spirit... this is worth coming for.
James Hudson Taylor
We believe that the time has come for doing more fully what He has commanded us; and by His grace we intend to do it. Not to try, for we see no Scriptural authority for trying. Try is a word constantly in the mouth of unbelievers,... far too often taken up by believers. In our experience, ‘to try' has usually meant ‘to fail'. (The Lord's) command is not ‘Do your best,' but ‘DO IT'.
