As Americans, we highly value our rights, but are we willing to sacrifice those rights for the cause of Christ? In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul tells us about the rights he sacrificed to more effectively share the gospel. Have We No Rights? by Mabel Williamson examines several rights that missionaries must lay aside, but comforts us with the knowledge that Christ laid aside His rights for us and He will be sufficient for us. For each "right," Mabel shares stories from her and others' experience of moving to China and learning to subordinate their "rights" to the furtherance of the gospel. (Summary by...

To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope.

Why the Field Still Matters The field is not just a biblical metaphor—it is the very place where heaven and earth collide. From the garden in Eden to the vineyards of parables, from the wheat harvest of Ruth to the end-time harvest Jesus spoke of, the field has always been central to God’s work on the earth. It is where sons are tested, servants are trained, and stewards are revealed. It is where dreams are fulfilled, character is refined, and legacies are written. The Church must recover the dignity of labor—not only in sacred ministry, but also in secular assignments

With his vast knowledge in a wide range of subjects, Raymond Lull was a Renaissance man before the time of the Renaissance. After encountering the living Christ, he desired to serve Him for the rest of his life. While the rest of the world sought to drive Muslims from the Holy Land by crusades with the sword, Lull waged his own personal crusade of love and logic to win Muslims to the gospel. As he advocated for schooling in oriental languages, undertook missionary journeys to North Africa, and eventually died a martyr's death, Raymond Lull made this his motto: he who loves not lives not; he ...

“Mr. Dickson, you are advanced in years now, and your own prospect is soon to be laid in the grave, there to be eaten by worms; I confess to you, that if I can but live and die serving and honouring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by Cannibals or by worms; and in the Great Day my resurrection body will arise as fair as yours in the likeness of our risen Redeemer.” This was John G. Paton's reply to one of his many friends in Scotland who objected to him leaving his work there to go as a missionary to the New Hebrides. Over the next four years, despite ...
