“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son …”
— John 3:16
How big is your God?
Is He bound by the limitations of what you can see, hear, and think?
Or do you have a God who can do anything at any time?
Today, let’s consider a great man who believed in a great God—William Carey, the father of modern missions.
Carey lived by the motto “Attempt great things for God.
Expect great things from God.”
For centuries, worldwide missions had come to a virtual standstill.
But William Carey, a cobbler who lived in England in the eighteenth century, explored God’s Word and became increasingly convinced that God was concerned about the whole world—“For God so loved the world.”
This conviction began a burning in Carey’s heart.
He envisioned millions of people perishing throughout the earth, people who needed to hear about Jesus Christ.
Being a man of action, Carey convinced a group of ministers in 1792 to form the first foreign missionary society.
But that was not enough.
Carey himself felt led to the mission field, so he traveled to India.
He mastered more than a dozen Indian languages then translated the entire Bible or portions thereof into those languages.
Every day, he preached to the natives.
The result? Not one single convert among the Indians for seven years.
But Carey persevered, believing that God could and would do great things.
Finally, in 1800, Krishna Pal was the first convert of the modern missionary movement.
Soon hundreds, thousands, and millions followed.
In the thirty-five years after Carey went to India, missionary societies sprang up all over Britain, Europe, and America.
The result was an outpouring of missionary activity, labor, and zeal, the likes of which had not happened since the first century.
All of this came about through the hard work of a humble cobbler who believed in God’s greatness and obeyed God’s call.
When ordinary people with ordinary talents yield fully to God, He uses them to accomplish extraordinary things.
What can you do for God today?
“When I am gone, speak less of Dr. Carey
and more of Dr. Carey’s Saviour.” William Carey  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
