The battle is always the Lord's....

Listen to the words of one of the greatest evangelists ever:

"Envied by some, despised by many, hated by others, often blamed for things I never heard of or had nothing to do with... often sick in body as well as perplexed in mind and embarrassed by circumstances-had not the Lord been specially gracious to me, had not my mind been sustained by the conviction that the work is His and that He is with me in what it is no empty figure to call "The think of the conflict," I must have fainted or broken down. But the battles is the Lord's, and He will conquer. We may fail-do fail continually-but He never fails. Still, I need your prayers more than ever." ~ James Hudson Taylor, missionary to China & founder of the China Inland Mission

"'Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.'" ~2 Chronicles 32:7-9
