To succeed in work but fail at home is to fail completely.

The Character of God and Worship
The Pastor and Missions
If the pastor knows little about missions, his church will know less. And the less a church does for missions the less life and power it will have.
John C. Thiessen, Pastoring the Smaller Church, p. 52
The Results of Missions Belong to God
Let missionaries work on patiently, and sow the good seed without fainting. Duties are theirs. Results are God’s.
Jesus and the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit will always make the believer more conscious of the Lord Jesus than Himself.
Tim LaHaye, Spirit-Controlled Temperament, p. 62
God Is Delighted in You Because of His Son!
Think of it: God is so delighted with Jesus Christ that he has called millions of sinful human beings to himself in order that Jesus might reproduce himself in them and that this universe might be populated with millions of Christs. This does not mean that we will become divine. We will still be his creation, the fruit of his fingers, but we will be like him. That is the point. We will show forth his character; we will be conformed to the image of Christ.
James Montgomery Boice, Philippians, p. 36
Truly Satisfying Worship
When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we have been made for Him.
How the Gospel Is Spread
Preaching is the Christ-appointed means for the propagation of the Gospel.
R. Ames Montgomery, Preparing Preachers to Preach, p. 175
The Power Behind Missions
To win souls is not a work we do for Christ with His mighty help; it is a work He does through us by His omnipotent power.
J. E. Conant, Soul-Winning Evangelism, p. 7
Knowing and Trusting God
All the things we know about Him make us trust Him in the things we do not know.
