GREAT QUOTES about OUR MISSION
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
It is now possible to live a "christian life" without doing the things
that Jesus commanded us to do. "We have hired people to go into
all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe
the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian
doesn't have to do it. --Cal Thomas
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
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
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.
--C. S. Lewis
The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a
command to be obeyed -- Hudson Taylor
Use your ministry to build people, not people to build your ministry.
--Jacquelyn K. Heasley
Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil,
whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot
radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference
of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over
the length and breadth of the world. But a blank he cannot be:
there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.
--Thomas Chalmers
To silence a preacher from preaching judgment is like being
awoke from sleep by a fire alarm, and just silencing the alarm,
and going back to sleep. --Unknown
