Brother Andrew

“Persecution is an enemy the Church has met and mastered many times. Indifference could prove to be a far more dangerous foe.”

“Don't bring Hollywood; bring Christ. Don't bring power. Don't bring just your money. Bring love. Bring the kingdom.”

“The enemy is fierce and he would like for you to think that he has on. Don't believe his lie.”

“The bigger the darkness, the easier it is to spot your little light.”

“Don't curse the darkness but light a candle.”

“Christians need a new filling of the Holy Spirit to love those who disagree with them. And the greatest expression of love is to share with them the most precious thing a Christian has, which is the good news of the salvation of Jesus Christ.”

“Of course it's dangerous. But it's a lot more dangerous for all of us if we don't do it. Even in a conquering army there are casualties. Safety is not the issue when we look at the Great Commission. The purpose of the church cannot be to survive, or even to thrive, but to serve.”

“The work of the church is not survival. She exists to fulfill the Great Commission.”

“One man with God is a majority.”

“You can get in anywhere if you go to serve.”

“I experienced one of the common miracles of the Christian life. Our spirits recognized each other.”

“The Church is larger than any one nation or any one political scene.”

“That's the excitement in obedience, finding out later what God had in mind.”

“God really is a Father, as displeased with a cramped, niggardly attitude of lack as with its opposite.”

“In the years of living this life of faith, I have never known God's care to fail.”

“Don't complain to yourselves that you can't go to the mission field! Thank God for bringing the mission field to you!”

“Whenever, wherever, however You want me, I'll go. And I'll begin this very minute. Lord, as I stand up from this place, and as I take my first step forward, will You consider this is a step toward complete obedience to You? I'll call it the step of yes.”

“Why are we worried!" Rolf said suddenly. "This is God's work. He'll make a way for us.”

“I think you're like one of your own lumps of clay, Andy. God has a plan for you, and He's trying to get you into the center of it, and you keep dodging and slithering away.”

“Lord, if you show me the way, I will follow You.”

“through prayer we can reach into the future and with loving hands touch those beyond our reach.”

“Our prayers can go where we cannot...there are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray.”

“I am a fool for Christ...whose fool are you?”

“I have come to see clearly that life is more than self. It is more than doing what I want, striving for what will benefit me, dreaming of all I can be. Life is all about my relationship with God. There is no higher calling, no loftier dream, and no greater goal than to live, breathe, and be poured out for Jesus Christ."--Jamie in Brother Andrew's "The Calling”

“We have to live a life that is more revolutionary than that of the revolutionaries.”
