The Message Is What Matters

"Early on while still in Bible School I made a feeble, flimsy, fumbling attempt to preach to the lost at Victory Servicemen’s Center in Long Beach, California. I knew I had failed miserably … and it was true. But that night 30 sailor boys knelt and wept through to salvation. That night changed my life … for suddenly I realized that even when the messenger’s delivery is a total failure, the message itself remains powerful to save."

— Missionary Ralph Hiatt (on his blog, "Ralph Hiatt's Argentina," 10/29/11)

Church or Fan Club?

"If the people of a church don't attend in the absence of the pastor, it is not a church, but a fan club."

A Broken Heart in Every Pew

“Preach to the suffering and you will never lack a congregation. There is a broken heart in every pew.”
