The only generation that can reach this generation is our generation.

We talk of the second coming, half the world has never heard of the first.

Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist.

Oh my friends, we are loaded with countless church activities, while the real work of the church, that of evangelizing and winning the lost is almost entirely neglected.

The world does not need sermons; it needs a message. You can go to seminary and learn how to preach sermons, but you will have to go to God to get messages.

The supreme task of the church is the evangelization of the world. No one has the right to hear the gospel twice until everyone has had an opportunity to hear it at least once.

I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once.

The church that does not evangelize will fossilize.

The mission of the church is missions.

The Lord did not tell us to build beautiful churches, but to evangelize the world

Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.

But not only medicine, engineering, and painting are arts; living itself is an art in fact, the most important and at the same time the most difficult and complex art to be practiced by man.

I never understood the theory, once popular among doctors, that blamed mental disorders on too little or too much mother love. My own mother was my darling.

You must stop worrying about why things happen and wonder what they mean when they do.

Anyone living in Los Angeles who says they don't need a psychiatrist, needs a psychiatrist.

Stories worked much the same way . . . A false note at the beginning was much more costly than one nearer the end because early errors were part of the foundation.

That's what gives people hope - that you can still love someone from afar and you can still have those feelings across an ocean.
