God does not have to come and tell me what I must do for Him; He brings me into a relationship with Himself where I hear His call and understand what He wants me to do, and I do it out of sheer love to Him... When people say they have had a call to foreign service, or to any particular sphere of work, they mean that their relationship to God has enabled them to realize what they can do for God.

I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The world must be left outside until God alone fills the vision...God has promised to answer prayer. It is not that He is unwilling, for the fact is, He is more willing to give than we are to receive. But the trouble is, we are not ready...

The supreme task of the Church is the evangelization of the world.

Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist.

Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice, before everyone has heard it once?

The light that shines the farthest will shine the brightest at home.

He who would preach powerfully must pray effectively.
