At Poolesville, we do not consider it our job to build the church. That honor
and responsibility belongs to Christ and Him alone. This said,
we do consider our second greatest activity to be that of
evangelism. We say that it is the second greatest activity
because evangelism and missions flow out of worship.
Worship is the fuel and goal that drives us in missions,
because it is the fuel and goal that drives God in missions.
We worship him and from that we seek to gain worshippers
for the King. There are many opportunities to corporately
reach the lost and the leadership is even now planning some
upcoming trips.
“Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak. Churches that are not centered on the exaltation of the majesty and beauty of God will scarcely kindle a fervent desire to ‘declare his glory among the nations’ (Psalm 96:3).”
John Piper, Let the Nations be Glad
“If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.”
C. H. Spurgeon
“The task of the people of God is, as far as possible in a sinful society to reclaim the cosmos for God’s created purpose.”
Carl F. H. Henry
"If God has fit you to be a missionary, I would not have you shrivel down to be a king. "
Charles Spurgeon
