“The gospel of Jesus Christ is worth living for, yes, and it is worth dying for, of course, but we show it is supremely valuable to us when we deny ourselves and take up our crosses to be a blessing to the people who the gospel is calling us to.”
― Matt Chandler, To Live Is Christ to Die Is Gain

“Men and women of faith should be the first to argue that God does not need federal funds to do his work. When they get involved in charitable work, it’s usually with the knowledge that a change of heart will often do more than a welfare check to conquer poverty. They focus on changing hearts, one heart at a time.”
― Anne Bradley, For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty

“the world is so charged with God’s grandeur that, if we had but eyes for it, we would discover his glory—and his grace—breaking out in the most ordinary of situations.”
― Anne Bradley, For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty

“Likewise, if we care for others' salvation, we will expend ourselves in ministry to them-in prayer, in service, and in witness. If we are not willing to be wearied-if we do not find ourselves sometimes needing a rest from our labors-then we are not likely to accomplish much in Christian ministry.”
― Richard D. Phillips, Jesus the Evangelist: Learning to Share the Gospel from the Book of John
