The Love of God–The Gift of His Love<\/p>\n
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son" (Joh_3:16).<\/p>\n
If we possess the "love of God" we must be willing to give our son, or sons; our daughter, or daughters.<\/p>\n
The first desire of one who loves is to express his love. God loved the world, and gave His Son. "I speak to prove the sincerity of your love."<\/p>\n
What a shame for one to lead some missionary society, to head some missionary organization, to speak on some missionary program or even to be a member of a "missionary" church; and yet to refuse to give their own son or daughter for the souls of men they profess to love!<\/p>\n
There is a good deal of cant and display in much of our supposed missionary zeal. It looks nice to figure in missionary meetings; it sounds heroic to speak of missionary work; but it is quite a different thing to possess the love of God toward a lost world and to give a son.<\/p>\n
Dr. Torrey tells of how he, in a guest room of the Moody Bible School was fighting it through with God, concerning the going of his own son to China. Finally his eye caught a motto on the wall: "God had but one Son, and He gave Him to be a missionary." Immediately the sky was cleared, and Dr. Torrey with gracious victory, gladly yielded his son for China.<\/p>\n
Let us love, and loving, let us consecrate our sons to the work of God, at home or abroad, anywhere, as God may lead.<\/p>\n
"Speed away! speed away on your mission of light,<\/p>\n
To the lands that are lying in darkness and night;<\/p>\n
‘Tis the Master’s command; go ye forth in His Name,<\/p>\n
The wonderful Gospel of Jesus proclaim.<\/p>\n
Take your lives in your hand, to the work while ’tis day,<\/p>\n
Speed away! speed away! speed away!<\/p>\n
"Speed away! speed away with the life-giving Word,<\/p>\n
To the nations that know not the voice of the Lord;<\/p>\n
Take the wings of the morning and fly o’er the wave,<\/p>\n
In the strength of your Master the lost ones to save.<\/p>\n
He is calling once more–not a moment’s delay!<\/p>\n
Speed away! speed away! speed away!"<\/p>\n
