Oh my friends, we are loaded down with countless church activities, while the real work of the church, that of evangelizing the world and winning the lost, is almost entirely neglected!

We read in the biographies of our forefathers, who were most successful in winning souls, that they prayed for hours in private. The question therefore arises, can we get the same results without following their example?
– Oswald J. Smith –
We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first.
– Oswald J. Smith –
The mission of the church is missions.
– Oswald J. Smith –
Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist.
– Oswald J. Smith –
No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once.
– Oswald J. Smith –
People take salvation today in such a cold, formal, matter-of-fact, business-like sort of way, that it appears as though they are doing God an honor in condescending to receive His offer of Redemption. Their eyes are dry, their sense of sin absent; nor is there any sign of penitence and contrition … But oh, if there were conviction! if they came with hearts bowed down, yea! broken and contrite, came with the cry of the guilt-laden soul: “God be merciful to me a sinner!”—came trembling with the burning life and death question of the Philippian jailor: “What must I do to be saved ?”—what converts they would be!
