The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers; it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench.

The missionary church is a praying church. The history of missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of the world’s evangelization hinges on prayer.

Preaching is God’s great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold. When wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.

Out of 100 people, one will read the Bible; the other 99 will read the Christian!

It was said of the Moravians, “Their passion for souls was only surpassed by their passion for the Lamb of God.”
Those whom God calls to such a ministry – and a call is essential – must be prepared for a pathway of unpopularity and misunderstanding. “You troubler of Israel” was the way Ahab addressed Elijah.”

Being a missionary is really just living the Christian life genuinely in another place.

Unction comes to the preacher not in the study but in the closet. It is heaven’s distillation in answer to prayer. It is the sweetest exhalation of the Holy Spirit. It impregnates, suffuses, softens, percolates, cuts, and soothes. It carries the Word like dynamite, like salt, like sugar; makes the Word a soother, an arranger, a revealer, a searcher; makes the hearer a culprit or a saint, makes him weep like a child and live like a giant; opens his heart…as gently, yet as strongly as the spring opens the leaves.
