I never begin my work in the morning without thinking that perhaps He may interrupt it during the day to begin His own.

G. Campbell Morgan

George Campbell Morgan (1863–1945) war ein englischer Prediger, Evangelist und Bibellehrer, der vor allem durch seinen langjährigen Dienst an der Londoner Westminster Chapel sowie durch Vortragsreisen in den USA bekannt wurde. Er prägte die methodisch genaue, fortlaufende Auslegungspredigt und vertrat ein schriftzentriertes Bibelverständnis, während er sich im Fundamentalismusstreit der 1920er-Jahre von polemischen Abspaltungen distanzierte. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine zahlreichen Kommentare und Predigtreihen ein textnahes, analytisches Schriftstudium mit praxisnaher pastoraler Ausrichtung.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.

Our Lord's example is our example, not only on Calvary but in the workshop, on the road, in the crowd, amid interruptions, amid opposition, amid the lack of quiet and privacy, amid constant demands.
