Time

In response to Frodo's wish that he wasn't in his situation. 'So do all who see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that we are given.'
Gandalf quote

a world Christian

"Not Every Christian is called to be a missionary. But every follower of Christ is called to be a world Christian. A world Christian is someone who is so gripped by the glory of God and the glory of his global purpose that he chooses to align himself with God's mission to fill the earth ‘…with the knowledge of His glory as the waters cover the sea.’ (Habakkuk 2:14)”
- John Piper, Let the Nations be Glad p. 228

"I have only one passion and it is Him, only Him"

a church that does not exist to...

"A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness is a church that has no right to be."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
