"The biggest mistake I believe we pastors make
is to spend 90% of our time trying to get the 90%
of our church to pray who are not going to pray,
while ignoring the 10% of our church who lives topray!
If we will survey our people, identify our intercessors,
begin to build a relationship of respect and partnership
with them, they will multiply like rabbits! And, like
spark plugs in the church, they will ignite the
prayer life of the entire church."
-- Eddie Smith, U.S. Prayer Center
"American Christianity has, at times, morphed into
an errant 'virus' that has had a negative impact
on countries where it has been exported. We preach
a gospel that offers faith without repentance,
grace without the fear of God
and destiny without discipleship."
--Rice Broocks, pastor of Bethel World Outreach Center in Nashville, TN
A Spiritual Tsuami is about to occur,
can't you see the signs?
All the virtues of the Gospel that seem
to have been sucked out of our society
are about to come crashing in with waves of judgments.
This is really a good thing- the vacuum will create a hunger for God.
--Pam Clark, Moravian Falls,NC
"Gathering large groups of people is not hard with
good promotional techniques. It is for this reason
that I long ago ceased to be impressed by the size
of churches, missions, or ministries. The real issue
is the fruit. You can have a large group of high maintenance,
low impact people who are not accomplishing nearly as
much as a much smaller group. Our goal for mobilizing
must be to raise up an effective force for the Gospel
and the preaching of the Kingdom of God."
--Rick Joyner, Morningstar Ministries
