C.T. Studd on Missions

A friend and supporting pastor, Bob Zemeski, sent me this quote this morning:

Christ’s call is to save the lost, not the
stiff-necked; He came not to call scoffers but sinners to repentance; not to
build and furnish comfortable chapels, churches, and cathedrals at home in which
to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped
prayers, and artistic musical performances, but to capture men from the devil’s
clutches and the very jaws of Hell. This can be accomplished only by a red-hot,
unconventional, unfettered devotion, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the
Lord Jesus Christ.

–C.T. Studd (1860-1931), Missionary to China and
Africa
