Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ. The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him.

The Command to be Obeyed – Hudson Taylor
The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.
– Hudson Taylor –
The primary purpose of every true church and Christian – Derek Prince
The supreme purpose of every true Christian Church, the chief duty of every Christian minister, the main responsibility of every Christian layman, is to present to all who may be reached, in the clearest and most forceful way, the basic facts of the gospel of Christ and to urge all who hear to make the definite personal response to these facts which God requires. To this, the supreme task, every other duty and activity of the Church, must be secondary and subsidiary.

We are always at work – Charles Spurgeon
If you are idle in Christ’s work, you are active in the devil’s work.

How to present Christ to an unbeliever – Paul Washer
We should never present Christ to the unbeliever as the cherry on top of an already wonderful life. The unbeliever must see that he has no life, and that all his personal achievements prior to Christ are monuments to his own vanity: made of sand and quickly passing.
– Paul Washer –
Shake Before Using – Vance Havner
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, “Shake well before using.” That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

The power to preach the Gospel – Ian Thomas
The One who calls you to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature is the One who by your consent, goes into all the world and preaches the Gospel to every creature through you!

Undermining the authority of Scripture – HB Charles Jr.
I believe the enemy of our souls is at work to undermine the authority of Scripture. The veracity and authority of the sacred Scriptures are attacked to thwart and threaten the truth of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The enemy seeks to sabotage the biblical proclamation of Christ to stop the advance of the message of the gospel to all the nations (Matthew 28:18-20).
