The motto for every missionary, whether preacher, printer, or schoolmaster, ought to be “Devoted for Life.”
– Adoniram Judson–
China is not to be won for Christ by quiet, ease—loving men and women. … The stamp of men and women we need is such as will put Jesus, China, souls, first and foremost in everything and at every time—even life itself must be secondary.
– Hudson Taylor –
missionary to China (1832-1905)
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
– William Booth –
The preacher who neglects to preach to himself has forgotten a very important part of his audience. We must first address our own soul. If we can move that by the words we may utter, we may hope to have some power with the souls of others.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
We are called to change the world, not be changed by the world.

We are so ministerial-minded, and we want so to come into our ministries, and a lot of souls are made shipwreck by a premature coming into ministry when there had been no attention to the foundation of relationship with God and men.
– Art Katz –
Get your texts from God —your thoughts, your words, from God. … It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin.
