Have We No Rights? A Frank Discussion of the "Rights" of Missionaries


Read by AletheiaCharis

As Americans, we highly value our rights, but are we willing to sacrifice those rights for the cause of Christ? In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul tells us about the rights he sacrificed to more effectively share the gospel. Have We No Rights? by Mabel Williamson examines several rights that missionaries must lay aside, but comforts us with the knowledge that Christ laid aside His rights for us and He will be sufficient for us. For each "right," Mabel shares stories from her and others' experience of moving to China and learning to subordinate their "rights" to the furtherance of the gospel.
