TOPIC: POWERFUL QUOTES BY THE WISE!.

Basic Scriptures:
AMOS 6 : 1-1,
MARK 16 : 14-20

I remember that the great David Livingstone once said: “If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honour, how can a commission by a heavenly king be considered a sacrifice?” The late but immortal Reinhard Bonnke noted: “A church that does not save the lost, that church is lost itself.” Carl F.H Henry: “The gospel is only good news if it gets there on time.”

Indeed, of what use is the gospel to a dead man or woman? Henry Martyn also once said: “The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions, the nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become.” Oh! Hear Robert C. Shannon: “Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is – where life and death, sin and grace, heaven and hell converge.” Never forget that the Coronavirus pandemic taught the body of Christ that we are alive not to do or play church but to win souls!

Can you imagine that about 4 billion souls would be at home on Sundays some months ago? What happened to the many massive church buildings? THEY WERE EMPTY! Yes! God was speaking to the world! How did you feel when about 800 (eight hundred) souls were dying daily in Italy alone from the pandemic? How many went to hell or heaven?

Make hay while the sun shines because the gospel is only good news if it gets there on time! Stop playing church and stop being at EASE IN ZION! John Wesley penned: “Untold millions are still untold, you have one business on earth – to save souls.” C.S. Lewis wrote: “The church exists for one reason – to draw men unto Christ, to make them little Christs.”

Oswald J. Smith opined: “We talk of the second coming of Christ, half the world has never heard of the first.” And the greatest bombshell came from George Whitefield: “There is only one thing we can’t do in heaven – EVANGELISM!” Did you get that? You cannot win souls in heaven! The Lord will ask you how many souls you won on planet earth for Him. He will ask you what you did with your talent to advance His kingdom.
