I think we have to realize that God sometimes gives us more time to pray, and when he does this, we can pray that he will bless those who have opportunities to speak to others.

There are opportunities around. It takes time and motivation to take them.

I'll tell you what's more important than all the commentaries in your library: prayer.

Friend, the church finds its life as it listens to the Word of God. It finds its purpose as it lives out and displays the Word of God. The church’s job is to listen and then to echo.

I assume that normally the Lord will be bringing people to himself through the instrumentality of the preached word. However, we have to be very careful that we don't assume that if we are 'X' faithful in evangelism, then we will see 'Y' results right now. It doesn't work like that.

Your plans are fine, as long as you realize God has the right to change them.

Correct division should be preferred over corrupt unity.
