It is the rage of humanism in the Church today, seeking to limit a mighty God to tidy, containable, comprehensible works.

“A church that has no interest at all in increasing its number of converts is, in essence, saying to the rest of the word, ‘You all can go to hell.’” Rick Warren

“The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.” Samuel Chadwick

G K Chesterton said: “We don’t want a Church that moves with the world, we want a Church that moves the world.”

Love cannot stop at social action, vital though that is.

Martin Luther said, “If I should neglect prayer but a single day, I should lose a great deal of the fire of faith.”

There is sadly little value placed on the gifts of the Spirit that the apostle Paul told us to “earnestly desire, crave and pursue” (1 Corinthians 14:1).

We must think, breathe, act and spend as if the Great Commission is the greatest thing we do.

You can’t be connected to everyone, but we all can disciple a few.
