APPLICATION
“THE HIGHEST OF ALL MISSIONARY MOTIVES IS NEITHER OBEDIENCE TO THE GREAT COMMISSION (IMPORTANT AS THAT IS), NOR LOVE FOR SINNERS WHO ARE ALIENATED AND PERISHING (STRONG AS THAT INCENTIVE IS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CONTEMPLATE THE WRATH OF GOD), BUT RATHER ZEAL-BURNING AND PASSIONATE ZEAL FOR THE GLORY OF JESUS CHRIST … BEFORE THIS SUPREME GOAL OF THE CHRISTIAN MISSION, ALL UNWORTHY MOTIVES WITHER AND DIE.”
--JOHN STOTT
