The evangelist who preaches for eternity is never great on numbers. He is not apt to count hundreds of converts where there is no restitution, no confession, and no glad cry which proclaims, “The lost is found, the dead is made alive again!”

We will not build on the sand, but on the bedrock of the sayings of Christ, and the gates and minions of hell shall not prevail against us. Should such men as we fear? Before the whole world, yes, before the sleepless, lukewarm, faithless, namby-pamby Christian world, we will dare to trust our God, we will venture our all for Him, we will live and we will die for Him, and we will do it with His joy unspeakable singing aloud in our hearts. We will a thousand times sooner die trusting only in our God than live trusting in man. And when we come to this position the battle is already won, and the end of the glorious campaign in sight. We will have the real Holiness of God, not the sickly stuff of talk and dainty words and pretty thoughts; we will have a Masculine Holiness, one of daring faith and works for Jesus Christ.

Witnessing is the whole work of the whole church for the whole age.

The devil doesnt mind how many sermons we preach or prepare if it will keep us from preparing ourselves.
– Vance Havner –
The gospel always brings life to the receiver and death to the giver. If the gospel brought death to Jesus Christ why would we think that in preaching the gospel it would be any less for us?

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Solid, lasting missionary work is done on our knees.

It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.
