Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.

We should travel light and live simply. Our enemy is not possessions but excess.

The gospel is NOT preached if Christ is not preached.

Do we claim to believe in God? He's a missionary God. You tell me you're committed to Christ. He's a missionary Christ. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? He's a missionary Spirit. Do you belong to the church? It's a missionary society. And do you hope to go to heaven when you die? It's a heaven into which the fruits of world mission have been and will be gathered.

I have never been able to conjure up (as some great Evangelical missionaries have) the appalling vision of the millions who are not only perishing but will inevitably perish. On the other hand... I am not and cannot be a universalist. Between these extremes I cherish and hope the majority of the human race will be be saved. And I have a solid biblical basis for this belief.

Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.

A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
