Bearded Gospel Men: Hudson Taylor
“China is not to be won for Christ by quiet, ease-loving men and women … The stamp of men and women we need is such as will put Jesus, China, [and] souls first and foremost in everything and at every time—even life itself must be secondary.”
Hudson Taylor (via Christian History)
If you know anything about Hudson Taylor, you know he was a missionary to China. What you may not know is that while he was a baby Taylor’s parents were praying God would send him to China. This was at a time when hardly any missionaries were targeting the country. He was converted as a teen while in the midst of an extended time of prayer, and from that moment on he began preparing himself for mission work in China.
He arrived in Shanghai as a 21 year old. Twenty one. Because Taylor wasn’t interedted in relying on translators to preach the gospel, he committed himself to true cultural immersion, including dressing in Chinese clothes and growing a pony tail (as was the custom among Chinese men). This made sense to our missional brother, but brought criticism from other missionaries. Undeterred, Taylor followed God’s calling to take the gospel into China’s interior.
Hudson Taylor saw that for the gospel to take root in China’s and reach greater numbers God would need to raise up more men. So he began recruiting other Christians to go and make disciples where there was such a desperate need. In 1865 he wrote,China’s Spiritual Need and Claims, and organized a network of sorts, China Inland Mission. Taylor and CIM not only brought the Gospel to China’s interior, but it helped to build the strong and vibrant underground church that exists in China today.
Hudson Taylor was a bold, yet selfless man who sacrificed much in preaching the gospel, helping to translate the Bible in Chinese, starting churches, and creating a network, and the church today is blessed by what God has done through him. In all of this we see that Taylor was a most definitely a bearded gospel man.

Din istoria neoprotestantismului la români: Creştinii după Evanghelie
Semnalez celor interesați de istoria recentă un articol al lui Bogdan Emanuel Răduț prin intermediul căruia acesta realizează o prezentare succintă din punct de vedere istoric a Adunărilor Creștine după Evanghelie.
Cunoscute pe plan mondial ca Mişcarea Frăţească, Adunările Creştine după Evanghelie din România au apărut la sfârşitul anului 1899 ca urmare a misiunii lui Eduard H. Broadbent din Anglia şi Francis Berney cu Charles Aubert din Elveţia. Astfel, prima adunare de vestire a Evanghelie, într-o formă de felul acesta, a avut loc în limba franceză, în str. Teilor Nr.82 Bucureşti, de unde s-a răspândit pe teritoriul României. În 1900 avea să se deschidă o nouă adunare în Calea Călărași Nr.46, de data aceasta în limba română. Plecarea, în 1902, a lui Aubert înapoi în Elveția a dus la unirea celor două adunări. În primii ani de răspândire a mișcării apar Adunări la Ploiești, Goicea Mare (Dolj), Iași, Suceava, Râșnov, Sibiu, ș.a. În 1929 existau deja 47 de adunări în România, iar în 1924 a avut loc prima Conferință Națională a Creștinilor după Evanghelie din România.

Ziua Nationala de Rugaciune pentru Romania (26 februarie 2012)
iua Naţională de Rugăciune pentru România se celebreaza duminica 26 februarie 2012 si este, de cativa ani, un eveniment in care crestinii se apropie de Domnul Dumnezeu în rugăciune, pentru binecuvantarea poporului roman.
“Cautati pe Domnul si sprijinul Lui, cautati necurmat Fata Lui!” 1 Cronici 16:11 este tema evenimentului. Anul acesta ne-am rugat si ne vom mai ruga in mod special pentru situatia economica si spirituala a Romaniei.
Din 2005, în sute de biserici din tara si de peste hotare, de dimineaţă şi la lăsarea serii, credincioşii si-au înalţat rugăciunile cu dorinta sincera: Doamne, binecuvintează România!
Din motivele de rugăciune amintim:
Romania sa devina o tara crestina, nu doar sa se declare. Romania sa Il recunoasca pe Isus Hristos ca Domn si Mantuitor personal. Presedintele tarii sa fie si un om al lui Dumnezeu. Guvernul sa fie o institutie care sa se bazeze pe Biblie in luare deciziilor. In Parlament, Adevarul si Dreptatea sa se distinga zilnic. Prefecturile tarii sa oranduiasca lucrurile conform Bibliei. Primariile sa fie locuri in care Dumnzeu sa nu fie facut de rusine. Pastorii, preotii, prezbiterii si alti slujitori sa fie oameni calauziti de Dumnezeu. Bisericile sa traiasca in Adevarul Bibliei. Sa se marturisim pacatele personale. Sa marturisim pacatele natiunii si sa cerem Vindecare. Romania sa aiba o presa curata. Invatamantul sa fie la inaltimea cuvenita. Economia tarii sa fie in crestere, bazata si pe morala crestina.
An de an, noi biserici si organizatii s-au alaturat mijlocirii in post si rugaciune pentru Romania.
Dintre parteneri amintim: Biserici evanghelice din Romania, Biserici evanghelici din Diaspora, Centrul Arta pentru Viata, Alfa Omega TV, Farul Crestin, resursecrestine.ro, Radio Vocea Evangheliei.

Bearded Gospel Men: J.C. Ryle
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was a masculine, godly minister of the gospel. Growing up he was an strong athlete, rowing and playing Cricket for Oxford. The son of a wealthy banker, it was assumed he would head into politics, but was converted in 1834 and ordained to the ministry 8 years later. He retired in 1900 when he was 83 years old and died later that year. He was a contemporary of Charles Spurgeon (yeah, you know he’s coming up in this BGM series), and like Spurgeon he was an earnest gospel preacher and teacher. He was a controversial leader taking a strong stand for the truth and against error. His writing, like his the rest of his ministry, was both robustly doctrinal and devotional. He labored to help people know the Truth, and live by it.
His classic, Holiness, had a major impact on me early in my Christian life. It’s one of those rare books I have read several times, and consider it a must-read for all Christians.
In all of his ministry as he labored to see reformation and revival he was always pointing others to Jesus.
Would you be holy? Would you become a new creature? Then begin with Christ! You will do nothing, until you feel your sin and weakness—and flee to Him! He is the beginning of all holiness. He is not only wisdom and righteousness to His people—but sanctification also. People sometimes try to make themselves holy first—and sad work they make of it! They toil, labor, and turn over many new leaves, and make many changes—and yet they feel nothing bettered, but rather worse. They run in vain and labor in vain! Little wonder, for they are beginning at the wrong end! They are building up a wall of sand; their work runs down as fast as they throw it up. They are baling water out of a leaky vessel. The leak gains on them, not they on the leak. Other foundation of holiness, can no person lay, than that which Paul laid, even Christ Jesus. Without Christ, we can do nothing.
– We Must Be Holy (via)
Ryle is a man you need to become familiar with. Read his work. Check out J.I. Packer’s biography on Ryle, Faithfulness and Holiness: The Witness of J.C. Ryle. And while you’re reading, stop shaving.
Below are some free Ryle Resources. I hope you find great encouragement in them.
