The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

When the house churches heard about the arrest of 36 of the 39 workers, do you think they were disillusioned? Far from it! Believers all around the nation lifted up holy hands before the Lord and with tears streaming down their cheeks they thanked the Lord for performing the great miracle of getting three Chinese missionaries out of China! We have learned to be thankful for any advance of the gospel.

You can physically come to Church on Sunday, and not be there spiritually.
You can sing, and still not participate in worship.
You can give money, and still not tithe.
You can be religious, and still NOT be a Christian.

The world today is looking for, and desperately needs, true Christians. I am never tired of saying that what the Church needs to do is not to organize evangelistic campaigns and attract outside people, but to begin herself to live the Christian life. If she did that, men and women would be crowding into our buildings. They would say, “What is the secret of this?”

In Israel’s days of journeying, God gave the visible cloud by day and the fire by night as a witness and an evidence of His glory and constant protection. If God was still giving the same signals of His abiding Presence, I wonder how many churches would have the approving cloud by day and fire by night.

God requires to be represented by a fiery Church… two things are intolerable to Him–insincerity and lukewarmness.
