Ask missionaries (regardless of age – 12 or 112) and they’ll tell you they have one goal – God. God first. God last. God in all things. Not to go out and feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, make busy with conversion activity, but God first. With God as the goal, the homeless get a roof, the hungry get fed, the cold get warmed, the lonely get a friend, and the wanderer finds a way.

Many pastors criticize me for taking the Gospel so seriously. But do they really think that on Judgment Day, Christ will chastise me, saying, “Leonard, you took Me too seriously?”
– Leonard Ravenhill –
If we have got the true love of God shed abroad in our hearts, we will show it in our lives. We will not have to go up and down the earth proclaiming it. We will show it in everything we say or do.
– DL Moody –
At the judgement seat of Christ more than one faith-confessing charismatic will have to sputter out a reason why he chose to claim classy cars instead of countries.
– David Shibley –
God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible. What a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.
– Billy Sunday –
Prayer is my chief work, and it is by means of it that I carry on the rest.
– Thomas Hooker –
Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother; pray, pray, pray.
– Edward Payson –
Give yourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. If you do not pray, God will probably lay you aside from your ministry, as He did me, to teach you to pray.
