The missionary question is not, 'Where are there unbelievers?' and then send a missionary there. There are unbelievers everywhere! The missionary question is, 'Where are there people's who don't have any Christians in them or don't have a church strong enough to do the neighbor evangelism that we can do if we just want to do it?' That's the missionary question.

A Christian is not a person who believes in his head the teachings of the Bible. Satan believes in his head the teachings of the Bible! A Christian is a person who has died with Christ, whose stiff neck has been broken, whose brazen forehead has been shattered, whose stony heart has been crushed, whose pride has been slain, and whose life is now mastered by Jesus Christ.

This is God's universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.

Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.

A God-centered theology has to be a missionary theology

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

Nothing is more vital than prayer in Christian existence, and few things are more vulnerable to neglect.

Spot the first risings of your besetting sin and kill it, till it is no more.

Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.
