“Christianity is a rescue religion. It declares that God has taken the initiative in Jesus Christ to rescue us from our sins. This is the main theme of the Bible”–John Stott, Basic Christianity, 84.
“We are under no spiritual obligation to aid any man in any activity that has not upon it the marks of the cross. No appeal to our sympathies, no sad stories, no shocking pictures should move us to put our money and our time into schemes promoted by persons who are too busy to listen to God”–A.W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous, 19.
“Listen to no man who fails to listen to God”–A.W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous, 17.
“We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst”–C.S.Lewis.
“Complaining is a passive and annoying way of asking someone to do something for you that they either can’t or shouldn’t do. Or it is the venting of frustration–an energy that could have been used more productively”–Mark Graham.
“God’s great acts are intended to help us experience His sovereign Lordship. We are all spiritually blind until God comes to help us see. It is easy to see the hand of God at work in the world when you have experienced God at work in your life. It is God’s intent that we have the spiritual vision to see His work in our world. He works that we may “know” that He is Lord and that we may experience His loving power”–Robert L. Cate, Help in Ages Past, Hope for Years to Come, 17.

Through the Cooperative Program, we Southern Baptists are supporting thousands of missionaries here in America and all around the world. And these missionaries are specially trained to plant the Gospel in whatever area they are working…. In 2011… they planted more churches and baptized more people than all the 45,000-plus Southern Baptist churches here in the USA.” “…It is not perfect, but its advantages are great….There are biblical reasons why it is good, and there are compelling logistical reasons why it works so well.”
