“Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.”

“Almost every convert runs the risk of catching our civilization... I compassionate missionary, leave China! come home and convert these Christians!”

“The missionaries go forth to Christianize the savages - as if the savages weren't dangerous enough already.”

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

“The Christian cannot be satisfied so long as any human activity is either opposed to Christianity or out of all connection with Christianity. Christianity must pervade not merely all nations, but also all of human thought. The Christian cannot therefore be indifferent to any branch of ernest human endeavor. It must all be brought into some relation to the gospel. It must be studied either in order to be demonstrated false or else in order to be made useful to the kingdom of God. The church must not only seek to conquer every man for Christ, but also the whole of the man.”

“Why is it that some Christians cross land and sea, continents and cultures, as missionaries? What on earth impels them? It is not in order to commend a civilization, an institution or an ideology, but rather a person, Jesus Christ, whom they believe to be unique. ”
