The proper relation of the Church to the world cannot be deduced from natural law or rational law or from universal human rights, but only from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The gospel is not to take the form of hole-in-the-corner sectarianism, it must be set forth by public preaching.

Monasticism was represented as an individual achievement which the mass of the laity could not be expected to emulate. By thus limiting the application of the commandments of Jesus to a restricted group of specialists.

2 Corinthians 5:20: So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Yet here we are, sitting in a restaurant, surrounded by people, many of whom are probably lost and going to hell, and we won't say a word about how they can have eternal life. Something is wrong with us. "You're absolutely right," I said. "We're willing to save someone in a visible crisis, but a lot of folks are in spiritual crisis and we don't say a word about how they can get out of it.

All my desire was the conversion of the heathen... I declare, now I am dying, I would not have spent my life otherwise for the whole world.

The most glorious reason you exist is for the proclamation of the glory of God to the ends of the world. And it's more than having a nice life.

It is the only happy life to live for the salvation of souls.

Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.

A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do.

When I consider my ministry, I think of the world. Anything less than that would not be worthy of Christ, nor of his will for my life.
