It’s 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.

While Sinners Sink Into Hell – Charles Spurgeon
God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell.
– Charles Spurgeon –
First Thing to Focus on in Sharing the Gospel – Martin Luther
The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God’s law and to show the nature of sin.
– Martin Luther –
Let’s Bring the World to Christ – Billy Sunday
Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.
– Billy Sunday –
The Need of the Spirit – Charles Spurgeon
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else’s way; you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
– Charles Spurgeon –
A Noble Gift – Henry Drummond
What a noble gift it is, the power of playing upon the souls and wills of men, and rousing them to lofty purposes and holy deeds.
– Henry Drummond –
You Need the Power of the Holy Spirit – Charles Spurgeon
You might as well expect to raise the dead by whispering in their ears, as hope to save souls by preaching to them, if it were not for the agency of the Spirit.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The Emphasis of the Christian Missionary – John Shearer
In every revival there is a reemphasis of the Church’s missionary character. Men return to Calvary, and the world is seen afresh through the eyes of Christ. The infinite compassion of Christ fills the heart, and the passion evoked by Calvary demands the whole wide world as the fruit of His sacrifice.

A Self-Centered Church Can’t Evangelize the World – John R. Mott
The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the extension of Christ’s Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularized or self-centered Church can never evangelize the world.
