More quotes by William Carey
If you want the Kingdom speeded, go out and speed it yourselves. Only obedience rationalizes prayer. Only Missions can redeem your intercessions from insincerity.
William Carey
All my friends are but one, but He is all sufficient.
William Carey
I feel it my duty to plod on while daylight last.
William Carey
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer and it is in this way, we have the greatest reason to suppose, that the glorious out-pouring of the Spirit, which we expect at last, will be bestowed.
William Carey
I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
William Carey
I am very defective in all duties... In prayer I wander and am formal... I soon tire devotion languishes and I do not walk with God.
William Carey
There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead. Therefore, we must go forward.
William Carey
It is the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations.
William Carey
To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
William Carey
Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
William Carey
Expect great things from God, receive great things from God. Expect little from God, receive little from God.
William Carey
Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.
William Carey
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.
William Carey
Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness.
William Carey
I'm not afraid of failure I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.
William Carey
We have only to keep the end in view, and have our hearts thoroughly engaged in the pursuit of it, and means will not be very difficult.
William Carey
Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?
William Carey
...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.
William Carey
Those who would be employed in propagating the Gospel should be familiar with the doctrines he is to combat and the doctrines he is to teach, and acquire a complete knowledge both of the Sacred Scriptures and of these philosophical and mythological dogmas which form the souls of the Buddhist and Hindu Systems.
William Carey
I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God's failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.
William Carey
