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

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

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

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

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

“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”
