Missions

Missionary or Imposter? – Charles Spurgeon

Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.

– Charles Spurgeon –

The Great Commission – Hudson Taylor

The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.

– Hudson Taylor –

Do you believe in missions? – J. Howard Edington

People who don’t believe in missions have not read the New Testament. Right from the beginning Jesus said the field is the world. The early church took Him at His word and went East, West, North and South.

– J. Howard Edington –

The Reason the Church Exists – CS Lewis

The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose.

– CS Lewis –

Jesus and Jesus Alone – Count Zinzendorf

I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.

– Count Nicolaus Ludwn Zinzendorf –

A Minister Who Does Not Pray – Thomas Coke

A minister, who prays not, who is not in love with prayer, is not a minister of the Church of God. He is a dry tree, which occupies in vain a place in Christ’s garden. He is an enemy, and not a father, of the people. He is a stranger, who has taken the place of the shepherd, and to whom the salvation of the flock is an indifferent thing.

– Thomas Coke –
