“The work of God in this earth can never be finished until the men and women comprising our church membership rally to the work and unite their effort with those of ministers and church officers.”
Testimonies for the Church, Volume 9, page 116
“The salvation of sinners requires earnest, personal labor. We are to bear to them the word of life, not to wait for them to come to us. Oh, that I could speak words to men and women that would arouse them to diligent action!
The moments now granted to us are few. We are standing upon the very borders of the eternal world. We have no time to lose. Every moment is golden and altogether too precious to be devoted merely to self-serving. Who will see God earnestly and from Him draw strength and grace to be His faithful workers in the missionary field.
The great commission to make disciples is not just to keep people in the church, but to help MEMBERS, Not only receivers, but givers. Those caught by the gospel net must be trained to become fishers of men. And thus the cycle of evangelism continues.
