“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t.” ~ John Piper ~
“My desires seem especially to be after weanedness from the world, perfect deadness to it, and that I may be crucified to all its allurements. My soul desires to feel itself more of a pilgrim and a stranger here below, that nothing may divert me from pressing through the lonely desert, till I arrive at my Father’s house.” ~ David Brainerd ~
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, “Mine!” ~ Abraham Kuyper ~
“I have a firm conviction that I am immortal until my work is complete.” ~ Lottie Moon ~
“I am wired by nature to love the same toys that the world loves. I start to fit in. I start to love what others love. I start to call earth “home.” Before you know it, I am calling luxuries “needs” and using my money just the way unbelievers do. I begin to forget the war. I don’t think much about people perishing. Missions and unreached people drop out of my mind. I stop dreaming about the triumphs of grace.I sink into a secular mind-set that looks first to what man can do, not what God can do. It is a terrible sickness. And I thank God for those who have forced me again and again toward a wartime mind-set.” ~ John Piper ~
“Go straight for souls and go for the worst.” ~ William Booth ~
“The best remedy for a sick church is to put it on a missionary diet.” ~David Livingstone ~
