Vision Baptist Church

“We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with. But we are ‘harmless,’ and therefore unharmed. We are spiritual pacifists, non-militants, conscientious objectors in this battle-to-the-death with principalities and powers in high places. Meekness must be had for contact with men, but brass, [...]

I am currently reading The Indwelling life of Christ by Ian Major Thomas. I loved the following quote: Are you bewildered about your Christian experience? You know you are redeemed, but beneath the outward practice and profession of your faith you are conscious of the inner nagging of a troubled spirit. True inner peace eludes [...]

“God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say – God intends me to be here because I am so useful. Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judges at all of where that is.” [...]

EVANGELISM is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. –D. T. Niles If your Gospel isn’t touching others, it hasn’t touched you! –Curry R. Blake We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God. — John Stott The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the [...]

Abraham Lincoln used to remark that he could get any number of men who are “willing to shed their last drop of blood,” but he found it difficult to get men to shed their first drop to make a beginning. Don’t talk about what you will do for Jesus by and by. Just begin now [...]

The church wants mature Christians very greatly, and especially when there are many fresh converts added to it. New converts furnish impetus to the church, but her backbone and substance must, under God, lie with the mature members. We want mature Christians in the army of Christ, to play the part of veterans, to inspire [...]

It is very easy to offer unto God a sort of “other people’s obedience” — to fancy that we are serving God, when we are finding fault with our neighbors, and lamenting that they are not so godly as they ought to be. Truly, we cannot help seeing their shortcomings; but we should do well [...]

Once I had nothing but a heart of stone, and although through grace I now have a new and fleshy heart, much of my former obduracy remains. I am not affected by the death of Jesus as I ought to be; neither am I moved by the ruin of my fellow men, the wickedness of [...]
