In preparation for our conference this weekend, I thought it would be helpful to review a few short, thought-provoking quotes on evangelism.
Evangelism is one beggar telling another beggar where to get bread. ~ D. T. Niles
Evangelism is the redistribution of spiritual wealth. ~ John Blanchard
In making a person a Christian, God takes a burden off the heart and places another on the shoulders. ~ Anonymous
Christian mission is the only reason for our being on earth. ~ Andrew Murray
The gospel is not a secret to be hoarded but a story to be heralded. ~ Vance Havner
Holy Writ is to be kept not under a bushel, but under men's noses. Its message is to be held forth as diligently as it is held fast. ~ J. I. Packer
If a church does not evangelize it will fossilize. ~ A. W. Pink
The greatest charity in the world is the communication of divine truth to the ignorant. ~ Alexander Maclaren
No candle which God lights was ever meant to burn alone. ~ J. C. Ryle
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone. ~ J. C. Ryle
Evangelism is always dangerous, though it is not so dangerous as the lack of evangelism. ~ George Sweazey
We cannot bring the whole world to Christ, but we must bring Christ to the whole world. ~ John Blanchard
Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor. ~ C. H. Spurgeon
Evangelism's highest and ultimate end is not the welfare of men, not even their eternal bliss, but the glorification of God. ~ R. B. Kuiper
If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
