Gordon's Love Letters to Freda

Ladies,

I had posted these on my fb status, but it was requested of me by my dear sweet cousin to combine these in a note for all of you. Recently, I've been doing some research on the lives of Gordon and Freda Lindsay, who have always been some of the classic ministers I've admired most. Their ministry encompassed many different arenas, including pastoring, pioneering, evangelism, revivalism, writing, editing, publishing, and missions. The Lindsays were such a unique blend of gifts and anointings, and together, were a dynamic team powerfully used by God. As a writer, I've always been encouraged in how their writing and editorial gifts greatly blessed the body of Christ - especially at a time when that area of ministry was in need of pioneering spirits.

Be Patient Warriors of Faith

"Therefore, brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable. Firm as a rock, devoted to Christian life, for their faith is not vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:58

Too many Christians become unsettled, weary, and unhappy with were they are in life. These people give up, change churches, blame others (spouses, family, pastors, other Christians), or even blame and turn their back on God. The problem is not all of these external things listed above, it is internal. The real issue is that they do not have patience and do not use their faith -- rather than press on towards their divine destiny, which was right in front of them; they retreat and push their destiny further from them. There is a quote by Gordon Lindsay that fits perfectly with this, he said "Don't dig up in unbelief what you planted in faith."
