William Carey quotes about
prayer important firsts
One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.
prayer missionary tire
I am very defective in all duties... In prayer I wander and am formal... I soon tire; devotion languishes; and I do not walk with God.
prayer want kingdoms
If you want the Kingdom speeded, go out and speed it yourselves. Only obedience rationalizes prayer. Only Missions can redeem your intercessions from insincerity.
prayer grace pouring
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer; and it is in this way, we have the greatest reason to suppose, that the glorious out-pouring of the Spirit, which we expect at last, will be bestowed.
prayer lying believe
Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness.
men missionary christianity
Young man, sit down: when God pleases to convert the heathen, He will do it without your aid or mine.
future god promises
The future is as bright as the promises of God.
competition form lower market might
It can't do any harm. Any form of competition will even the market out. It might lower prices.
spiritual missionary england
I went to India as a missionary to save England from spiritual collapse.
giving credit too-much
If the biographer gives me credit for being a plodder, he will describe me justly. Anything beyond this will be too much. I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
said
The less said about me the better.
common-sense kingdoms fields
...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.
thinking interesting firsts
I often think what interesting history we are making for the student of the twenty-first century.
letting-go journey thinking
Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.
