Nazarene Missions International
February Emphasis: Alabaster
What is Alabaster
The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around
the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and
not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a
sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey
an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots."
Alabaster funds help provide land for many Work & Witness projects, and
the entire Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of land and
construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for
missionaries and national workers.
100th Anniversary of the NMI!

Editorial
“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the father by Him.” Colossians 3:17
Our whole life is lived for God in all that we do whether in
work, worship or relationship, should be done “in Christ’s
Name” as unto Him and for His glory. God expects us to do
and be our very best with what He gives us. To do it with all
our might-to improve every moment in redeeming time-to seize
every opportunity, and to use every means of grace. We are to
do this constantly and consistently with a deep sense of both
love and duty. Beware of slacking your heavenly pace. The
nearer the Goal, the closer the victory-the greater will be the
battle, but with Him, He causes us always to triumph.
God gives to us His gifts, severally as He will-do we use them?
They are never for boasting, but for service. Remember the
parable of the talents! All that we have is not ours as owners,
but only as stewards to be put to use according to our Masterthe Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s directions set for His Holy
Word and applied to our lives by the blessed Holy Spirit. This
is not any use, but the life and heart of holiness to affect and
penetrate every part of us. Not in any manner, but our might,
our very best. Not in some special times, but all times and in
every circumstance. The great key to this holy life is a heartthe very centre and total of our being-cleansed from sin, and
the faith that works by love-a perfect or complete love without
things that would try to become the asides that hinder our
Lord being truly at the centre of the circle of our being…..see
this precious truth in 1John 1.
WE are a salvation people. We believe in salvation. We believe in the
old fashioned salvation. Our is jus the same salvation taught in the
Bible, proclaimed by prophets and apostles. We believe that the
world needs it, and that this and this alone will set it right We want
to other nostrum-nothing new. Our work is salvation. We are not
mere sentimentalists or theory people; we publish what we have seen
and handled and experienced of the word of life and the power of God.
We aim at salvation...the great purpose and the business of our lives.
Let us seek first the kingdom of God. Let us be Salvationists indeed.
William Booth, in The Salvationist, January 1879
