William or Bill Carey may refer to:
When I left England, my hope of India's conversion was very strong; but amongst so many obstacles, it would die, unless upheld by God. Well, I have God, and His Word is true. Though the superstitions of the heathen were a thousand times stronger than they are, and the example of the Europeans a thousand times worse; though I were deserted by all and persecuted by all, yet my faith, fixed on the sure Word, would rise above all obstructions and overcome every trial. God's cause will triumph. (William Carey, quoted in Iain Murray, The Puritan Hope, Banner of Truth 1971, p 140. )
The future is as bright as the promise of God.
The less said about me the better.
Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.
I'm a dreamer and continue to dream of what can and will be, "Expecting great things from God, Attempting great things for God
One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.
If the biographer gives me credit for being a plodder, he will describe me justly. Anything beyond this will be too much. I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, a little before his departure, commissioned his apostles to Go, and teach all nations; or, as another evangelist expresses it, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. This commission was as extensive as possible, and laid them under obligation to disperse themselves into every country of the habitable globe, and preach to all the inhabitants, without exception, or limitation. They accordingly went forth in obedience to the command, and the power of God evidently wrought with them.
There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead. Therefore, we must go forward.
Expect great things from God, receive great things from God. Expect little from God, receive little from God.
A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own; he is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.
It is the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations.
I am very defective in all duties. . . In prayer I wander and am formal. . . I soon tire; devotion languishes; and I do not walk with God.
We must not be contented however with praying, without exerting ourselves in the use of means for the obtaining of those things we pray for.
You have been saying much about Dr. Carey and his work. When I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey; speak about Dr. Carey's Saviour.
If you want the Kingdom speeded, go out and speed it yourselves. Only obedience rationalizes prayer. Only Missions can redeem your intercessions from insincerity.
I'm not afraid of failure; I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer; and it is in this way, we have the greatest reason to suppose, that the glorious out-pouring of the Spirit, which we expect at last, will be bestowed.
Surely it is worthwhile to lay ourselves out with all our might in promoting the cause and kingdom of Christ.
