John Hawley of the Open Air Mission provides us with 20 quotations to challenge us to get out with the gospel

1: John Wesley

‘It is no marvel that the devil does not love field preaching! Neither do I. I love a commodious room, a soft cushion, a handsome pulpit. But where is my zeal if I do not trample all these underfoot in order to save one more soul?

‘Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth. You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work.’
