Millions are perishing to-day without the knowledge of
Christ, and will go on perishing, simply because the Church is not doing the
work for which she was redeemed and endowed with God's Spirit...When we realize
there is so much work that has not been done for no reason than that the Church
was not what she ought to be...Our hearts will spontaneously cry out in
humiliation and shame, and make confession of our sin. The sin of
blood-guiltiness; the sin of disobedience; the sin of unbelief; the sin of
selfishness and worldliness, grieving the Holy Spirit and quenching Christ's
love in our hearts, for His love and His kingdom these sins will become a
burden greater then we can bear, until we have laid them at our Lord's feet and
had them removed by Him. ~Andrew Murray from "The Key to the Missionary
Problem"
