"His authority on earth allows us to dare to go to all the nations. His authority in heaven gives us our only hope of success. And His presence with us gives us no other choice."
"The authentic Christianity of the Bible is not a safe, smug, cosy, selfish, escapist little religion. On the contrary, it is deeply disturbing to our sheltered security. It is an explosive, centrifugal force, which pulls us out from our narrow self-centeredness and flings us into God’s world to witness and to serve." - John Stott
