Top Christian Mission Quotes

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

We have been chosen and called to be like Jesus Christ. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Louis De Montfort

Mary has the authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven. As a reward for her great humility, God gave her the power and mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride. Such is the will of the almighty God who exalts the humble, that the powers of heaven, earth and hell, willingly or unwillingly, must obey the commands of the humble Virgin Mary. — Louis De Montfort

Christian Mission Quotes By N. T. Wright

Left to ourselves we lapse into a kind of collusion with entrophy, acquiescing in the general belief that things may be getting worse but that there's nothing much we can do about them. And we are wrong. Our task in the present ... is to live as resurrection people in between Easter and the final day, with our Christian life, corporate and individual, in both worship and mission, as a sign of the first and a foretaste of the second. — N. T. Wright

Christian Mission Quotes By Pope Francis

This is the mission of every Christian: lumina pandit - to spread the light and to tell the world of God's love. — Pope Francis

Christian Mission Quotes By Harry Blamires

In so far as the church nurtures the schizophrenic Christian, the church herself contributes to the very process of dismemberment which it is her specific business to check and counter. For the church's function is properly to reconstitute the concept and the reality of the fill man, faculties, and forces blended and united in the service of God. The church's mission as the continuing vehicle of divine incarnation is precisely that- to build and rebuild the unified Body made and remade in the image of the Father. The mind of man must be won for God. — Harry Blamires

Christian Mission Quotes By George Eldon Ladd

The mission of Jesus brought not a new teaching but a new event. It brought to people an actual foretaste of the eschatological salvation. Jesus did not promise the forgiveness of sins; he bestowed it. He did not simple assure people of the future fellowship of the Kingdom; he invited them into fellowship with himself as the bearer of the Kingdom. He did not merely promise them vindication in the day of judgment; he bestowed upon them the status of a present righteousness. He not only taught an eschatological deliverance from physical evil; he went about demonstrating the redeeming power of the Kingdom, delivering people from sickness and even death. — George Eldon Ladd

Christian Mission Quotes By Thomas Merton

The married man and the mother of a Christian family, if they are faithful to their obligations, will fulfill a mission that is as great as it is consoling: that of bringing into the world and forming young souls capable of happiness and love, souls capable of sanctification and transformation in Christ. — Thomas Merton

Christian Mission Quotes By Ralph E. Reed Jr.

In 1962, the Supreme Court banned organized prayer from public schools. Since then, federal, state, and local courts and officials, including public school administrators, have joined in a nationwide search and destroy mission for student religious practices. — Ralph E. Reed Jr.

Christian Mission Quotes By Gary Smith

It is true that the church must be in many places and with many people, but it is the poor who will reveal to the church - dramatically and poignantly - the nature of its heart and mission. — Gary Smith

Christian Mission Quotes By Pope Francis

Our mission as Christians is to conform ourselves evermore to Jesus as the model of our lives. — Pope Francis

Your actions now, define possibilities. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

In every endeavour, we need God's grace. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Elaine A. Heath

Evangelism is intrinsically relational, the outcome of love of neighbor, for to love our neighbor is to share the love of God holistically. The proper context for evangelism is authentic Christian community, where the expression of loving community is the greatest apologetic for the gospel. Holiness - being given to God and God's mission in this world - is a way of life that is expressly concerned with evangelism. — Elaine A. Heath

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

May God grant us grace for our daily work. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Deborah L. McCarragher

Hope is putting Faith "on the line" and expecting results!
(from Mission Possible - Spiritual Covering) — Deborah L. McCarragher

Christian Mission Quotes By Brian D. McLaren

What if the Christian faith is supposed to exist in a variety of forms rather than just one imperial one? What if it is both more stable and more agile - more responsive to the Holy Spirit - when it exists in these many forms? And what if, instead of arguing about which form is correct and legitimate, we were to honor, appreciate, and validate one another and see ourselves as servants of one grander mission, apostles of one greater message, seekers on one ultimate quest? — Brian D. McLaren

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Seek the divine path and travel on it. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Tim Challies

Christian productivity is unique. Most productivity gurus will encourage you to be as selfish as you need to be, to get rid of anything that doesn't interest or excite you. But as a Christian you know you can do things that do not perfectly fit your mission but still do them out of love for God and with a desire to glorify him. — Tim Challies

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

We can accomplish a lot with prayer and fasting. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Freedom is will-power to define my path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Divine mission.
Divine strength.
Divine accomplishment. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Jim Palmer

IF GOD AND JESUS ARE UP IN THE SKY SOMEWHERE, THERE IS NO HOPE FOR HUMANKIND. We need them here and now. The Christian religion's version of the salvation of the world is that the physical Jesus will someday return to earth and straighten everything out. Where is the logic in this? Jesus was already here once and the mess and misery of the world were not resolved. In fact, Jesus never said his mission was to single-handedly save the world. Instead, he said that his mission was to bear witness to and demonstrate the truth that would. The colossal mistake of the Christian religion was building its salvation plan around the physical acts of Jesus in the world rather than what they meant in the spiritual realm - that is, in the "heavenly dimension" in us. It is an elevated state of mind. That is where we experience the reality. — Jim Palmer

Christian Mission Quotes By Loren Cunningham

Sometimes God does something dramatic to get our attention. That's what happened to me in 1975. My family and I were enjoying the peace and quiet of a borrowed cabin in the Colorado Rockies. I was stretched out on a lounge chair in the midday warmth, praying and thinking. I was considering how we Christians - not just the mission I was part of, but all of us - could turn the world around for Jesus. — Loren Cunningham

Christian Mission Quotes By N. T. Wright

A fully Christian view of the Bible includes the idea of God's self-revelation but, by setting it in a larger context, transforms it. Precisely because the God who reveals himself is the world's lover and judge, rather than its absentee landlord, that self-revelation is always to be understood within the category of God's mission to the world, God's saving — N. T. Wright

Christian Mission Quotes By Eric Hansen

Eyes glazed over as the great rice-wine parties in the highlands were recalled, parties that are no longer held since the arrival of the mission. Bario has become a good, clean, upstanding, sober, hard-working Christian community. What a loss for these fun-loving and generous people. — Eric Hansen

Christian Mission Quotes By Mark Dever

Christians are defined not by our heritage, but by our mission; not by our blood, but by His. — Mark Dever

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

I write what the Holy Spirit put on my mind. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By J.I. Packer

The pursuit of holiness is thus no mere private hobby, nor merely a path for a select few, but a vital element in Christian mission strategy today. The world's greatest need is the personal holiness of Christian people. — J.I. Packer

Christian Mission Quotes By John Piper

The ministry and mission of the church is at the center of Christian giving. — John Piper

Christian Mission Quotes By Samuel Marinus Zwemer

The history of missions is the history of answered prayer. It is the key to the whole mission problem. All human means are secondary. — Samuel Marinus Zwemer

Christian Mission Quotes By Jen Hatmaker

Ah yes, "The Calling." This is certainly a favorite Christian concept over in these parts. Here is the trouble: Scripture barely confirms our elusive calling - the bull's-eye, life purpose, individual mission every hardworking Protestant wants to discover. I found five scriptures, three of which referred to salvation rather than a job description (Rom. 11:29, 2 Peter 1:10, and Heb. 3:1). — Jen Hatmaker

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

God's grace is our greatest need for every good deed. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

May God point right path for you. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Andrew F. Walls

Christian mission is not simply about the multiplication of the church; it is about the discipling of the nations. It is about the penetration of cultures and ways of thought by the word about Christ. — Andrew F. Walls

Christian Mission Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI

The more ardent the love for the Eucharist in the hearts of the Christian people, the more clearly will they recognize the goal of all mission: to bring Christ to others. Not just a theory or a way of life inspired by Christ, but the gift of his very person. Anyone who has not shared the truth of love with his brothers and sisters has not yet given enough. — Pope Benedict XVI

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

We must seek to behold the greatness of our God. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Thomas Merton

The mission of Christian humility in social life is not merely to edify, but to keep minds open to many alternatives. The rigidity of a certain type of Christian thought has seriously impaired this capacity, which nonviolence must recover. — Thomas Merton

Christian Mission Quotes By Pope Francis

The Christian mission has only one focus: to change individual's lives so they can change the world. — Pope Francis

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Travel on your sacred-path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Diane Moody

The good news is we don't have to suffer alone. We don't have to carry the burdens of our messy lives alone. God is there for us. He wants to be the Comforter in Chief for the worst that life on this earth may hand us. but we need to know Him - genuinely know Him - not just when tragedy strikes. We need to know Him every moment of every day we live. We need to quit leaving it to the professionals and make know Him the most important mission of our lives. — Diane Moody

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Andy Stanley

I'm concerned about the plight of children. But I'm not on a mission to get all the available orphans in the world adopted into Christian homes. — Andy Stanley

Christian Mission Quotes By Mark P. Shea

One Body, Many Blogs is a nifty look at the mission to cyberspace that Christians, obedient to the Spirit, have undertaken! Read it and be inspired! — Mark P. Shea

Christian Mission Quotes By Don DeLillo

The Agency was the one subject in his life that could never be exhausted. Central Intelligence. Beryl saw it as the best organized church in the Christian world, a mission to collect and store everything that everyone has ever said and then reduce it to a microdot and call it God. — Don DeLillo

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

We will find our sacred-path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI

The baptized in their sense of mission, through prayer, the witness of life and Christian commitment in all its forms, so that all the faithful may become missionaries in the places where they live and that vocations will come forth to proclaim the Gospel to men who do not yet know it. — Pope Benedict XVI

Christian Mission Quotes By Hu Shih

The Jesuits had learned that a Christian mission to China could never succeed if it were not in a position to show and convince the Chinese intelligentsia of the superiority of the European culture. — Hu Shih

Christian Mission Quotes By Griffith John

We are in China in obedience to the command of our Lord; and the purpose of our Mission is to disciple and make Christians of this great nation.. This is a great spiritual work, and to secure success in it we need the abiding presence of the Spirit, and through the Spirit such a full baptism of power as will perfectly fit each one of us for the special work which God has given him to do. — Griffith John

Christian Mission Quotes By Donald Spoto

In the Christian tradition, for example, the only model for faith is Jesus of Nazareth. His proclamation, one observes in the New Testament, was not particularly religious: he spoke of God, certainly, but only in relation to ordinary human life with its quotidian struggle and suffering. Nor did he speak or preach in especially religious or secretarian terms; in fact, it maybe be said that Jesus came to set the world free from enslavement to and obsession with mere (humanly made) religion. "He went about doing good" is the biblical summary of his life and mission, and no words are more moving or provocative. — Donald Spoto

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

May the Almighty Lord make straight your path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Noam Chomsky

It is noteworthy that the pro-Israeli lobby was established, according to the declared aims of its founder, to eliminate pro-Arab influence in the State Department. This particular mission was accomplished, it seems, not so much by the lobby's effort as by the successful endeavors of the Christian Zionists. — Noam Chomsky

Christian Mission Quotes By Richard Holloway

Christian theological history is filled with stories of groups who have developed theories of the election of themselves to salvation and the damnation of others; theories that demonstrate that their particular group has been exclusively endowed with divine truth, so that they possess a unique mission to the world and have a unique authority within it. — Richard Holloway

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

I have to serve with all my might. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Philip Yancey

Jesus represents a point of common ground an esteemed rabbi to the Jew, a god to the Hindu, an enlightened one to the Buddhist, a great prophet to the Muslim. Even to the New Age guru, Jesus is the pinnacle of God-consciousness. At the same time, Jesus is the divider. None but Christians see Him as a member of the Godhead on an exclusive mission to repair the broken world. — Philip Yancey

Christian Mission Quotes By John W. O'Malley

...to become a Christian one did not have to become a European. [Jesuit mission philosophy] — John W. O'Malley

A great mission by a great woman. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

You ought to travel on your own path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Alexander Schmemann

Christian mission is not to preach Christ, but to be Christians in life. There — Alexander Schmemann

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

I have decided on my destiny; accepted by calling as writing for God. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By John Piper

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have a love for the lost? This is a term we use as part of our Christian jargon. Many believers search their hearts in condemnation, looking for the arrival of some feeling of benevolence that will propel them into bold evangelism. It will never happen. It is impossible to love "the lost". You can't feel deeply for an abstraction or a concept. You would find it impossible to love deeply an unfamiliar individual portrayed in a photograph, let alone a nation or a race or something as vague as "all lost people".
Don't wait for a feeling or love in order to share Christ with a stranger. You already love your heavenly Father, and you know that this stranger is created by Him, but separated from Him, so take those first steps in evangelism because you love God. It is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for God. — John Piper

Christian Mission Quotes By Katie J. Davis

I have learned that I will not change the world, Jesus will do that. I can however, change the world for one person. I can change the world for fourteen little girls and for four hundred schoolchildren and for a sick and dying grandmother and for a malnourished, neglected, abused five-year old. And if one persons sees the love of Christ in me, it is worth every minute. In fact, it is worth spending my life for. — Katie J. Davis

Christian Mission Quotes By Brian D. McLaren

But there is a more catholic understanding of the term apostolic: it means missional. The apostles were those called together to learn (as disciples) so they could be sent out on a mission (which is what both the Greek root for apostle and the Latin root for mission mean). From this vantage point, disciples are apostles-in-training; Christian discipleship (or spiritual formation ) is training for apostleship, training for mission. From this understanding we place less emphasis on whose lineage, rites, doctrines, structures, and terminology are right and more emphasis on whose actions, service, outreach, kindness, and effectiveness are good. — Brian D. McLaren

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

I walk on my sacred path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Reza Aslan

Jesus was not a Christian. Jesus was a Jew preaching Judaism to other Jews. His was a Jewish mission, one concerned exclusively with the fate of his fellow Jews. Israel was all that mattered to Jesus. He insisted that his mission was "solely to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24) and commanded his disciples to share the good news with none but their fellow Jews: "Go — Reza Aslan

Christian Mission Quotes By Peter Kreeft

The church is: a conspiracy of love for a dying world, a spy mission into enemy occupied territory ruled by the powers of evil; a prophet from God with the greatest news the world has ever heard, the most life changing and most revolutionary institution that has existed on earth. — Peter Kreeft

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

We need money for daily living and upkeep. But money isn't everything. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Eric Wilson

I feel that if my only audience is the Christian audience, then I've failed in my mission — Eric Wilson

Christian Mission Quotes By Peter Kreeft

Few Christians go into media or the arts today, or see it as a primary mission field or battlefield. But it is. — Peter Kreeft

Christian Mission Quotes By Alan Kreider

Missiologists have in recent years begun to think seriously about inculturation, and historians have begun to learn from them. When the Christian message is inserted into a cultural framework, if the messengers are insensitive to the local culture the result can be cultural imperialism. On the other hand, if they grant too much hegemony to the local culture, the result at best is 'syncretism' and at worst 'Christo-paganism.' Things are most wholesome when sensitive interchange takes place leading to 'a truly critical symbiosis.' But for this to happen, there must be a second stage - a time of 'pastoral follow-up work,' of catechizing and life formation enabling the new faith to express its genius in the institutions and reflexes of its new host culture. — Alan Kreider

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

My passionate adventure is to fulfill my calling; revered, preacher woman. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Ask the Creator to direct your path. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Live a passionate life.
Life can end any time, any day. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By David Jeremiah

The only way the corporate Body of Christ will fulfill the mission Christ has given it is for individual Christians to have a vision for fulfilling that mission personally. — David Jeremiah

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Lord, I am your chosen woman; use me to accomplish your work on earth in Jesus Name. Amen. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

The Lord's gracious hand is upon us.
We will begin the good work. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Jesus is the Son of God.
We are sons and daughters of God. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Michael Horton

The goal of Christian mission is not success, but faithful witness; not power, but proclamation; not technique, but truth; not method, but message. — Michael Horton

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Life must not be lived only to make money. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Rebecca K. Lilley

Far be it from me to slow down two badass supermodels on a mission, but we have a problem," a male voice said wryly.
I could see Christian out of the corner of my eye as we turned, his stance and movements almost synchronized to my own. We shared a look, our expressions almost identically similar, wit arched brows and half-smiles.
"What's the problem?" I called out, scanning the faces to see who had spoken.
"You're a badass supermodel," Christian muttered under his breath at the same time, taking the mature approach, as usual. — Rebecca K. Lilley

Christian Mission Quotes By Rick Warren

We are all called to fulfill God's five purposed for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world. — Rick Warren

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

We cannot save ourselves. Only God has the power to save us. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

God created you for a special purpose. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Christian Mission Quotes By Pope Francis

For every Christian, the proclamation and witnessing of the Gospel are never an isolated act. This is important. For every Christian the proclamation and witnessing of the Gospel are never an isolated or group act, and no evangelizers acts, as Paul VI reminded very well, "on the strength of a personal inspiration, but in union with the mission of the Church and in her name" — Pope Francis
