Roland Allen quotes about
higher men moral turn
What men turn to is more important than what they turn from, even if that to which they turn is only a higher moral truth.
missionary-zeal waiting intellectual
Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him.
simple men fire
The spontaneous expansion of the Church reduced to its elements is a very simple thing...What is necessary is faith. What is needed is the kind of faith which uniting a man to Christ, sets him on fire.
preaching-the-gospel soul thrones
If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.
church world firsts
The church was first established and organized with a world-wide mission for a world-wide work.
