Most Christians would like to send their recruits to Bible college for five years. I would like to send them to hell for five minutes. That would do more than anything else to prepare them for a lifetime of compassionate ministry.

I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.

Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.

While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!

There appears to be a deeply embedded uneasiness in our culture about throwing away junk that can be reused. Perhaps, in part, it is guilt about consumption. Perhaps it also feels unnatural. Mother Nature doesn't throw stuff away. Dead trees, birds, beetles and elephants are pretty quickly recycled by the system.

Look! Don't be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!

Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.
