Don't coast through life without a passion.

God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings. He is looking for people who will leave father and mother and homeland or anything else that may hold them back from a life of love under the wings of Jesus.

There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.

One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.

The main reason God has given us minds is that we might seek out and find all the reasons that exist for treasuring him in all things and above all things.

We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self.

So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
