Bibleless people groups are a social justice issue.

All the good stuff from God is on the other side of genuine repentance.

"We do not often realize that for nearly 300 years the Reformation did virtually nothing for worldwide evangelization. God had to pour out His Spirit on that little company of people [Moravians] and get them moving. God changed an introspective and quarreling congregation into a world-changing missions movement through prayer and revival."
- Patrick Johnstone

"As we breathe without ceasing, so must we pray without ceasing. As there is no attainment in life, of health, or of strength, or of muscular vigor which can place a man beyond the necessity of breathing, so no condition of spiritual growth or advance in grace will allow a man to dispense with prayer."
- Spurgeon

Our ministry is not what we do, but what we do is from who we are.
The quality of your inner life will determine your influence. You can never give what you don't have. Our fellowship with God determines our quality of life.

Because we do not see Him as He is, we live a life of defeat. Our eyes are unsteady looking in two directions, one eye upon the Lord, and one upon the world.

With many believers, they have one eye upon the Lord, and the other upon something else. That is why they become spiritually blind. When you really want to see him, your eyes should be only upon Him.

We waste our time looking at persons and things which have no concern with us, and that is why our life is so barren.

Many years ago I was sailing from Liverpool to Canada. A newly married couple was in the same ship. They were always together. They wanted no one else to come near them. They were so absorbed in each other wherever they went they took no notice of people around them. Their eyes were only on each other. Our Lord has the same desire that nothing else should draw away our attention. He would have us keep looking at Him.

You may perhaps ask Him for many things such as a job, or physical healing. But these disciples has no such requests. They said, "Master, where dwellest thou?" Those who have seen the Lord Jesus Christ have a string longing, "Where is my Lord? Where does He live?"
You can find Him only when you earnestly seek Him.

"They looked into Him and their faces were radiant." Who were these people? They were those who had once had shameful and ugly faces, where you could see the blackness of sin. But now, having seen Him, their faces shine. They became radiant. A new heavenly beauty came upon their faces." You see so many Christians pray regularly and attend many meetings and also take part in what the call communion service, but their faces are black with shameful spots. No doubt they are called by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, but the marks of sin and shame can be seen on their faces.

But David is saying from true experience, in Psalm 34:5 "They looked unto Him and their faces were radiant." The men that had come to David with grumbling and murmuring, sorrowful faces now saw David's face shining even in the dark cave of Adhullam. They also learned to look unto the Lord, and their faces also began to shine. Divine glory and beauty were shining upon their faces, in spite of their poverty and sickness.

This beauty, which God gives, will not come with using soap or powder or cream or by wearing jewels of gold and silver. How foolish some people are! They think by using such things they can become beautiful. They think by worldly shameful means they can become beautiful. In fact in this way they become uglier. It is only when our fears go away and we conquer our trials by faith then we can have faces shining with the glory of God.

"He that leaves off prayer leaves off the fear of God. ‘You cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God ‘ (Job 15: 4). A man that leaves off prayer is capable of any wickedness. When Saul had given up inquiring of God he went to the witch of Endor"
- Thomas Watson

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.
