When God Wants to Drill a Man

When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;

When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!

How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him

Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!

How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And which every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out-
God knows what He's about.

Are You Fit To Be A Minister of Christ?

“Nor is a man fitted to be a minister of Christ who does not have
the proper public spirit towards the Church. He needs to delight in
its beauty, long for its happiness, seek for its good, and rejoice in
its welfare. He must be willing to spend and to be spent for the
sake of the Church.”

-Richard Baxter
