The Exchanged Life<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nWhat could Hudson Taylor have missed? Though converted in a Methodist home, and later a zealous missionary to China, his experience of struggle-defeat-struggle-defeat-struggle… (in common with most Christians) seemed to be insurmountable. But then he discovered the secret! And, of course, he just had to share it with his dear sister…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Spiritual Effectiveness<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nToo many Christian workers are ineffective. For some this is a burden that gets them down, yet they do not really know where to turn. George A. Rice of Dublin, greatly used in Argentina, gives invaluable orientation. Shocking to the flesh it may be, yet the joyful way forward, bearing eternal fruit for the Master, is there… for every committed Christian.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

WHEN TWO FRIENDS BECOME A TEA<\/strong>M<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nWhat is that remarkable bond that sometimes develops among 2 or 3 Christian workers? We find Old Testament examples in David and Jonathan, and in Elijah and Elisha. In the New Testament, Paul\u2019s bonding with Titus and Timothy is well-known.

Heart Trouble? Ministry Trouble!!<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nSimon of Samaria and Balaam, son of Beor,\u00a0had\u00a0critical heart conditions, eventually getting “pierced with many sorrows”.\u00a0Even though these men lived\u00a0a\u00a0long time ago, the problem hasn’t gone away! To the contrary, in our generation we are faced with an epidemic that\u00a0is staggering. However, there is a\u00a0sure and\u00a0wonderful antidote\u00a0–\u00a0check it\u00a0out!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Faith’s Simplicity<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n“Fundraising” is considered a top strategy for Gospel work, though, admittedly,\u00a0a complex issue\u00a0that can be\u00a0pretty thorny. In contrast,\u00a0Alex Hay highlights the NT principles as\u00a0laid down by our Lord – they are simple, effective and far-reaching! Are they also\u00a0practicable in the\u00a021st century?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Ekball\u00f4 – that Surprising “Cast Out” Verb<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nDemons are cast out of their host bodies, Satan is cast out of Heaven, salesmen are cast out of the temple, and God’s harvest workers\u00a0are cast out\u00a0of… what?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

“Nest-Eggs” for the Antichrist?<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nThe signs of the times are unmistakable – can a Christian afford to let things drift, and not really live for his Lord? Here is an urgent call, based on what happened in Acts chapter 4.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Release of the Spirit<\/h4>\n

by Watchman Nee <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nIt seemed a shame, but the woman’s alabaster flask had to be broken. It was the only way for the exquisite fragrance to be released. Watchman Nee\u00a0uses this Gospel story\u00a0to point out convincingly what really\u00a0is the sense of the “brokenness” the Bible speaks about. It releases the Holy Spirit’s fragrance that is right\u00a0there\u00a0in the reborn spirit of the\u00a0believer.\u00a0These\u00a0ten timeless\u00a0chapters, once understood and applied,\u00a0have the potential to reshape any believer into a true servant of God.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Normal Christian Worker<\/h4>\n

\u00a0by Watchman Nee <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nTen talks delivered by one worker to his colleagues in\u00a0Gospel work in China have become\u00a0a most valuable\u00a0tool in the hands of God to\u00a0mold thousands of other workers through many years now and in many languages.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dear Pastor…<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nWhat was the secret of all those churches in New Testament times? In worship they were in touch with Heaven; in love sacrificial; in outreach dynamic; yet they had neither “pastors”, nor pulpits! How come?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
