William Wilberforce...w as a great man who impacted the Western world as few others have done. Blessed with brains, charm, influence and initiative, much wealth ... he put evangelism on Britain's map as a power for social change, first by overthrowing the slave trade almost single-handed and then by generating a stream of societies for doing good and reducing evil in public life... To forget such men is foolish.

The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.

For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?

We dishonor God if we proclaim a Savior who satisfies and then go around discontent

We think of God as too much like what we are. Learn to acknowledge the full majesty of your incomparable God and Savior.

Today, on our own turf, we face pagan ignorance about God every bit as deep as that which the early church faced in the Roman Empire.

It is staggering that God should love sinners, yet it is true.
