“Satan has not declared peace with the Church, yet the Church acts as if he has.” (Page 5)
“Some years ago, the Dallas Morning News reported that 68% of professing Christians outside of the ‘Bible Belt’ didn’t see reaching out to the lost as being the number one priority of the Church. This was in line with what the Barna Research Group found. In a survey, they discovered that among American adults who said they were ‘born again,’ 75% couldn’t even define the Great Commission. Also around that time another survey, this one in Christianity Today (a major evangelistic magazine), found that only 1% of their readership said that they had witnessed to someone ‘recently.’” (Page 3)
“It is time for the Church to arise in new-found courage and not only to defend ourselves, but to attack the enemy. I don’t mean to get distracted in a tangent of social work, but to be salt and light. Salt to stop the rot, and light to show the way to the salvation of God. To speak up about abortion and other important moral issues yet not to preach the Gospel, is to point to the wound, yet not supply the cure.” (Page 52)
“‘Gross darkness’ only covers this earth because the Church has not obeyed the admonition to ‘arise and shine.’ We often speak up when it comes to moral issues. We do scatter a little salt. But salt doesn’t shine. Among other things, it merely preserves.” (Page 6)
“‘There was a day when I died, utterly died, died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will—died to the world, its approval or censure—died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends—and since then I have only to show myself approved to God.’” (Page 51)
