Every step you take creates a path for someone to follow.
Witness
A. W. Tozer
Wherever I am whatever I am doing I hope and pray to God that I will have the courage to stand up for the real Jesus of the New Testament regardless of whom I offend.

Rivers carry within them the potential power to reshape and mould the environment around them. Keep that in mind as you remember that Jesus said, “Out of you will flow rivers of living water.
E Stanley Jones
As a lawyer for God, putting up His case, I was a failure. As a witness for God, telling what He has done for me, I was a success.
N. T. Wright
The call to Jesus’ followers as they confront their own doubts and those of the world through tears and from behind locked doors, is to be sign-producers for God’s kingdom. We are to set up signposts – actions, symbols, not just words – which speak, like Jesus’ signs, of new creation: of healing for the sick, of food for the hungry, and so on. This means things like running food banks, working in homeless shelters, volunteering to help those visiting relatives in prisons, and so on. These can be rewarding tasks but they, and all similar things, are also demanding. For them we will need, as Mary, Thomas and the disciples in the upper room needed, the living presence of Jesus, and the powerful breath of his Spirit. That is what we are promised.
Brian Hardin
Go. It doesn’t have to be far away. There’s no need for fanfare, or publicity. You don’t need anything to do it but your presence. Go to the adrift perplexed people around you; tell them that the kingdom is near. You’ve been treated generously, so live generously.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this. It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence… I can forgive a man for a bad sermon, I can forgive the preacher almost anything if he gives me a sense of God, if he gives me something for my soul, if he gives me the sense that, though he is inadequate himself, he is handling something which is very great and very glorious, if he gives me some dim glimpse of the majesty and the glory of God, the love of Christ my Saviour, and the magnificence of the Gospel. If he does that I am his debtor, and I am profoundly grateful to him.
Sam Allberry
A sign of the security of your beliefs is that you welcome hard questions and scrutiny; a sign of their insecurity is when you shut down and censor discussion.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Your life as a Christian should make non-believers question their disbelief in God.

The Church Jesus launched is meant to be expansive, like salt, water, light or leaven—metaphors He used to describe the Kingdom of God—none of which is effective if contained or controlled. Salt left in a shaker is useless. Stale water turns putrid. Light that is blocked results in darkness. Leaven in a container remains inert.
