Revival occurs as God ignites the fire of His Word and mobilizes His people to go and win the lost.

Commending God and His Works to the Next Generation
We must be committed to do anything we can to be that generation that commends God’s works, his glory, to the next generation so that they may be rescued and motivated by a glory bigger than the typical catalog of glories they would choose for themselves.
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2012), 119.
Success in Evangelism
We do not fail in our evangelism if we faithfully tell the gospel to someone who is not subsequently converted; we fail only if we do not faithfully tell the gospel at all.
Are You a Missionary?
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
The Worst Church
The Church is worse than as ‘sounding brass’, it is as silent brass and an untinkling cymbal, unless the individuals that belong to it recognise God’s meaning in making them His children, and do their best to fulfill it. ‘Ye are my witnesses,’ saith the Lord. You are put into the witness-box; see that you speak out when you are there.
Keepers of the Aquarium
Too many Christians are no longer fishers of men but keepers of the aquarium.
Never a Distinction Between Home and Foreign Missions
God wanted all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. To that end Jesus gave Himself to provide a salvation from all sin for all men. In that He died for one, He died for all. Contrary to our superficial thinking, there never was a distinction in His mind between home and foreign missions. To Jesus it was all world evangelism.

How Is the Church To Be Evangelistic?
In the church today the tendency is to look at the world all the time and to see the tragedy of the world. That is perfectly right, of course; the church is to be evangelistic. But the question is, how is the church to be evangelistic? And I contend that what the New Testament itself tells us, is that the church is most successful evangelistically when she herself is as she ought to be. Why are the masses of the people outside of the church? I do not hesitate to say that the reason is that they fail to see in us anything that attracts them, anything that creates within them a desire to receive what we have, or anything that rebukes them and condemns them for their way of living. Not that we should necessarily put that into words, but it should be seen.
Martin Lloyd-Jones in sermon titled The Possibilities of the Christian Life
Evangelism Is about Obedience
The Christian evangelist is primarily concerned with evoking obedience to Jesus Christ. The teachers of other religions are concerned with winning acceptance for the truths they teach.

A Monumental Revelation
In the Great Commission, we find Jesus’ monumental revelation to His followers — and through them to the world — of the mission for world blessing that God has had in store from the beginning: God’s people knowing and enjoying Him in Jesus and going and telling all the nations about Him.
