It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.

We should not ask, "What is wrong with the world?" for that diagnosis has already been given. Rather, we should ask, "What has happened to the salt and light?"

We are all missionaries...Wherever we go, we either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel them from Christ.

Eric Liddell
Biography




The "least of my brethren" are the hungry and the lonely, not only for food, but for the Word of God; the thirsty and the ignorant not only for water, but also for knowledge, peace, truth, justice and love; the naked and the unloved, not only for clothes but also for human dignity; the unwanted; the unborn child; the racially discriminated against; the homeless and abandoned, not only for a shelter made of bricks, but for a heart that understands, that covers, that loves; the sick, the dying destitutes, and the captives, not only in body, but also in mind and spirit; all those who have lost all hope and faith in life; the alcoholics and dying addicts and all those who have lost God (for them God was but God is) and who have lost all hope in the power of the Spirit.

9560X: The ABC's of Evangelism: An Easy Plan for Training Anyone to Witness, CD included The ABC's of Evangelism: An Easy Plan for Training Anyone to Witness, CD included
By Stan Toler

Many people get nervous at the prospect of evangelism. Often, they are afraid, or think that one needs to be a Bible expert to truly evangelize. Or that one needs to know the four spiritual laws. But evangelism, and training for evangelism, can be easy.

As easy as ABC, according to Stan Toler, pastor, teacher, and evangelist. Based on a simple plan, ABCs of Evangelism offers practical advice on how to evangelize people. In five steps, Toler shows you how you can effectively reach out and share the gospel. Step one, pray for God's presence in your presentation. Step two, present the ABC plan. Step three, lead the person in a sinner's prayer. Step four, assure the convert of their salvation. Step five, follow up with the new convert.

So what is the ABC plan? A, Admit that you are a sinner, based on Romans 3:23 (For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God). B, Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, based on John 1:12 (Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God). C, Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life, based on Romans 10:9-10 (That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved).

ABCs of Evangelism will help your church learn: the ABC plan, how to refute common objections from the unsaved, soul-winning verses, how to use networking and church events for evangelization, how to share faith in a small group, or with children, or during visitations, and how to have effective altar counseling for altar calls. Plus, there are recordings of messages from Stan Toler and John Maxwell. So let this simple, and short book inspire you to get out and share the good news.





If...we know Him by the revelation of the Holy Spirit and in our daily experience of Him as a personal loving heavenly Father, and are acquainted with both His gentleness and His awesome holiness, we will run to Him as children with open arms and yet deepest respect. The most important Person who ever existed loves you and me! The Creator of the universe has revealed Himself as having the tender heart of loving Father, and has by his Spirit made us His true-born children. He knows your name, He knows my name, He laughs and weeps with us! In Him we have discovered that we are valued infinitely far above our worth. How can we keep quiet about such a God?

A good witness isn't like a salesman, emphasis is on a person rather than a product. A good witness is like a signpost. It doesn't matter whether it is old, young, pretty, ugly; it has to point the right direction and be able to be understood. We are witnesses to Christ, we point to him.

John White
Biography




Jonah, we sometimes seem to miss entirely the point of what God wants to do. Do we willingly witness, serve, and pray in the hope and expectation that people will change for the better? Or do we wish for judgement to come, for God to destroy those we identify as "the wicked"? We struggle to understand the depth of God's mercy. But the ultimate goal of doing and being is that we and all the world may walk in God's way and discover life abundant.

George J. Waggoner




It is my hearts desire that I must be NO more, that He be KNOWN more. - (Christian converted from Islam )

What exactly has Christ done for you? What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.

Arthur John (A. J.) Gossip
Brief Biography




Do what you can, being what you are. Shine as glow-worm if you cannot be a star. Work like a pulley if you cannot be crane; be a wheel grinder if you cannot drive a train. Be the pliant oar if you cannot be the sailor; be the needle if you cannot be a tailor... Be the sharpened sickle if you cannot be the reaper.

It is a Gospel to men who are without God, sinful, bewildered, anxious, discouraged, self-sufficient and proud yet destroying themselves and others, caught in a desperate plight from which they cannot extricate themselves. The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.

Lewis J. Sherrill




Whatever you do, wherever you live, if you belong to Jesus Christ, the call from heaven has come to you to the highest honour a human being can experience. The Son of God is spreading His love, His lifestyle, and His life-saving message across this planet and you know what? He has summoned you to join Him in His glorious Administration. Don't settle for anything less.

D. L. Moody once said that at a certain meeting two and a half people were converted to Christ. A friend asked if he meant two adults and a child. The facts were just the opposite - two children and an adult. When a child is led to Christ, a whole life is saved!

Dwight L Moody
Brief Biography




There is all the difference in the world between preaching merely from human understanding and energy, and preaching in the conscious smile of God.

A wise person truly said, "It ought to be as impossible to forget that there is a Christian in the house as it is to forget that there is a ten-year-old boy in it."

Roger J. Squire




I went to hear Mr. Moody with no other idea than to have something to laugh at. I knew he was no scholar, and I felt sure I could find many flaws in his argument. But I found I could not get at the man. He stood there hiding behind the Bible and just fired one Bible text after another at me till they went home to my heart straight as bullets from a rifle. I tell you, Moody's power is in the way he has his Bible at the tip of his tongue.

Confronted with a cancer or a slum the Pantheist can say, "If you could only see it from the divine point of view, you would realize that this also is God." The Christian replies, "Don't talk... nonsense."

(Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
Into The Wardrobe




I believe that if an angel were to wing his way from earth up to Heaven, and were to say that there was one poor, ragged boy, without father or mother, with no one to care for him and teach him the way of life; and if God were to ask who among them were willing to come down to this earth and live here for fifty years and lead that one to Jesus Christ, every angel in Heaven would volunteer to go. Even Gabriel, who stands in the presence of the Almighty, would say, "Let me leave my high and lofty position, and let me have the luxury of leading one soul to Jesus Christ." There is no greater honour than to be the instrument in God's hands of leading one person out of the kingdom of Satan into the glorious light of Heaven.

Dwight L Moody

We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.

Jimmy Carter




It does not take a perfect church to introduce a man to the perfect Christ.
