“The greatest enemy of Christianity may be people who say they believe in Jesus but who are no longer astonished and amazed. Jesus Christ came to rescue us from listlessness as well as lostness; He came to save us from flat souls as well as corrupted souls.”
– Mike Yaconelli, Dangerous Wonder

“In the ministry of Jesus words and works, gospel preaching and compassionate service went hand in hand.  His works expressed his words, and his words explained his works.  It should be the same for us.  Words are abstract, they need to be embodied in deeds of love.  Works are ambiguous, they need to be interpreted by the proclamation of the gospel.  Keep words and works together in the service and witness of the church.”
– John Stott, Evangelism and Social Responsibility
