Galatians 2:5, 7, 14 NLT - 5 But we refused to give in to them for a single moment.

Defense Quotes

Quotes About Defense 



  • To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships. --Henry Cloud
  • You need your ego to survive in the three-dimensional world, but you need only that part of the ego that processes information. The rest - pride, arrogance, defensiveness, fear - is worse than useless. The rest of the ego separates you from wisdom, joy, and God. --Brian Weiss
  • There is a certain degree of satisfaction in having the courage to admit one's errors. It not only clears up the air of guilt and defensiveness, but often helps solve the problem created by the error. --Dale Carnegie

Outreach Quotes

Quotes About Outreach 

  • So many times now we are in a society where we complain, and say this is somebody else's job. No, it's your job; it's my job. The Great Commission is our job.

Resurrection Quotes

Quotes About Resurrection 

  • Because of the empty tomb, we have peace. Because of His resurrection, we can have peace during even the most troubling of times because we know He is in control of all that happens in the world. –Paul Chappell
  • Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf of springtime. –Martin Luther
  • Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection. –Watchman Nee
  • Remember that grace and truth cannot finally be crucified. Remember that all the high things that make humanity beautiful cannot be forever laid in the dust, spattered with blood. And most of all, remember that He who rose from the dead, rose to pour out His Holy Spirit into human lives, and, by that Spirit, to make available to any individual all the fullness of Himself, twenty-four hours a day. –Ray C. Stedman
  • Share the gratitude and good news of the resurrection of Jesus. Easter Sunday reminds us all of our heavenly calling and of the open door for a relationship with God through Jesus, His Son.
  • We understand and acknowledge that the Resurrection has placed a glorious crown upon all of Christ's sufferings –A. W. Tozer
  • What happened on that day (of Easter) became, was and remained the centre around which everything else moves. For everything lasts its time, but the love of God - which was at work and was expressed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - lasts forever. Because this event took place, there is no reason to despair, and even when we read the newspaper with all its confusing and frightening news, there is every reason to hope. --Karl Barth

Evangelism Quotes

Quotes About Evangelism

  • When you build relationships, you get to share your beliefs. It gives you the opportunity to share your faith with other people. --Andy Pettitte
  • I believe in having a more open mind and including others who don't share your faith and having a dialogue with them. And just having a pure heart and being a good person can bring you closer to God. Because once you believe in one particular religion fully and not others, that requires you to start disliking people who don't share your views. --Ishmael Beah
  • To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed. --Greg Laurie
  • You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics. --CHARLES BUKOWSKI









Share Your Faith Positively = Share your faith in a positive way with other people. Every person is created by God, and they intuitively want to know God. When they don't know God, it is because they have the wrong picture, so when you share your faith, share it in a positive way.

https://youtu.be/PKi8iELCMSI
God Comes First = If you put God first, then you find that all the other things you need in life, you get. If you put everything else first, you will leave out of your life the most important relationship you'll ever have. If you put God and His kingdom first, then He will take care of all the others things in your life.

Scriptures
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me [as an apostle] to baptize, but [commissioned and empowered me] to preach the good news [of salvation]—not with clever and eloquent speech [as an orator], so that the cross of Christ would not be made ineffective [deprived of its saving power].
Romans 15:20 My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,

Philemon 1:6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.

Romans 10:10-17 ESV For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? ...
Matthew 9:37-38 ESV Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
