The Lord did not tell us to build beautiful churches, but to evangelize the world

The world does not need sermons; it needs a message. You can go to seminary and learn how to preach sermons, but you will have to go to God to get messages.

The church that does not evangelize will fossilize.

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

Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How little we know of the compassion of Jesus!

I want Thy plan, O God, for my life. May I be happy and contented whether in the homeland or on the foreign field; whether married or alone, in happiness or sorrow, health or sickness, prosperity or adversity -- I want Thy plan, O God, for my life. I want it; oh, I want it.

Our work is to preach the gospel and we must not be sidetracked.
