HudSOn tAyLOR (QuOtES):

“The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.”

“God isn’t looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him.”

“All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on God being with them.”

“If I had a thousand Pounds, China should have it – if I had a thousand lives, China should have them.  No!  Not China, but Christ.  Can we do too much for Him?  Can we do enough for such a precious Saviour?”

“Let us give up our work, our thoughts, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into His hand, and then, when we have given all over to Him, there will be nothing left for us to be troubled about, or to make trouble about.”
