Quotes by H.L. Hussmann (?)

“The problem is this: A selfish faith is not the faith of Jesus Christ. The faith that Jesus established is one of living outside yourself and sacrificing your own needs, even your own life, for the lives of others. It always has been and always will be.”
― H.L. Hussmann, God's Greatest Passion: Every Christian, Everywhere, Sharing Jesus
