GREAT QUOTES on the GREAT COMMISSION
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
"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 Zinzendorf
"The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is
a command to be obeyed" -- Hudson Taylor
"I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it
out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light"
-- John Keith Falconer
"As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and
knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote
time and energy to those who have both." -- J. L. Ewen
"The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get
to Him, the more intensely missionary we become."
-- Henry Martyn,
"We are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been "living in
Laodicea ", lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal
indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that
we know how to live better than we are living." --Leonard Ravenhill
"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
"The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ,
to make them little Christs." --C. S. Lewis
