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.

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

Oh, how few find time for prayer! There is time for everything else, time to sleep and time to eat, time to read the newspaper and the novel, time to visit friends, time for everything else under the sun, but-no time for prayer, the most important of all things, the one great essential!

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

No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once.

The church that does not evangelize will fossilize.

He who would preach powerfully must pray effectively.
