God's smuggler

Moriah Howard

“it has been my experience that a missionary church is an alive church.”

 "That's the excitement in obedience," he said. "Finding out later what God had in mind."

“God's faithfulness I was experiencing continually, and I was also finding out something about His sense of humor.”

“Time and place are our Own limitations, Andy; we mustn't impose them upon God." 

“Whenever, wherever, however You want me, Il go. And I’ll begin this very minute. Lord, as I stand up from this place, and as I take my first step forward, will You consider that this is a step toward complete obedience to You? I'll call it the step of Yes."

“And yet," she said gently, "God hasn't come to a standstill." Suddenly she laughed. “I think you're like one of your own lumps of clay, Andy. God has a plan for you, and He's trying to get you into the center of it, and you keep dodging and slithering away.”

It is never safe to call a church a puppet-no matter how dead, no matter how subservient and temporizing it may appear on the surface. It is called by God's name, it has God's eye upon it, at any moment He may sweep the surface away with the purifying wind of His Spirit.

“In the years of living this life of faith, I have never known God's care to fail.”

“Funny how long it took us to learn the simple fact that God really is a Father, as displeased with a cramped, niggardly attitude of lack as with its opposite failing of acquisitiveness.”

“If we're going to be arrested for carrying in Bibles, we might as well be arrested for carrying in a lot of them."

“How faithful God is, how utterly trustworthy, how good beyond imagining! He asks for so little in order to give us so much.”

“Persecution is an enemy the Church has met and mastered many times. Indifference could prove to be a far more dangerous foe.”

“If a man seems to be harboring personal resentments againsta certain government, or if he has more to say about the evils of Communism than the goodness of God, then we suspect that he is a soldier poorly armed for the battle before us.”

 “Islam is based on monotheism and a holy book. The challenge of Communism is the stupid proclamation "There is no God." The challenge of Islam is “Who is God?" We know that many Muslims are motivated to die for their faith. If we don't come up with an answer, Islam will continue to grow and attract more volunteers willing to blow themselves up as self-proclaimed martyrs.”

“there is no more exciting mission than following Jesus wherever He leads us.”

My second time around with Brother Andrew and as always so humbling and faith building. A must read for any committed Christian.

A fantastic biographical account of a man who has lived an extraordinary life, and yet maintains an immensely humble attitude. One of the most encouraging and challenging missionary stories I've had the pleasure to read. I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it onto my reading list again, and again.
