An Enquiry Into the Obligations of Christians, to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens: In which the Religious State of the Different Nations of the World, the Success of Former Undertakings, and the Practicability of Further Undertakings are Considered, Quotes

“Our Lord Jesus Christ, a little before his departure, commissioned his apostles to Go, and teach all nations; or, as another evangelist expresses it, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. This commission was as extensive as possible, and laid them under obligation to disperse themselves into every country of the habitable globe, and preach to all the inhabitants, without exception, or limitation. They accordingly went forth in obedience to the command, and the power of God evidently wrought with them.”

“A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own; he is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.”

“One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.”

“We must not be contented however with praying, without exerting ourselves in the use of means for the obtaining of those things we pray for.”

“We have only to keep the end in view, and have our hearts thoroughly engaged in the pursuit of it, and means will not be very difficult.”
