First Steps for the Missionary

As soon as you shall sufficiently acquire the language to make yourselves clearly understood, you are to engage in preaching the gospel. This is your appropriate work.- For this you are distinctly sent forth; you go from this land not to engage in scientific research or pecuniary speculations, not to represent the best form of government or to exhibit the various stores of human knowledge, but to preach the gospel.

You can, indeed, show to them the purest system of ethics the world has ever seen, but this would only still more embitter the cup of their misery were it not that you can point to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. Hold up, then, the cross — know nothing among them but Jesus Christ, and him crucified. You may almost endlessly diversify your methods of teaching. Your arguments and illustrations should be according to the character and circumstances of those you address, but in all places and at all times the love of God to a lost race is to be the great theme of your addresses.

James B. Taylor (SBC)
