We may have more wealth in these days, better education, greater comfort in traveling and in our surroundings even as missionaries, but have we the spirit of urgency, the deep, inward convictions that moved those who went before us; have we the same passion of love, personal love for the Lord Jesus Christ? If these are lacking, it is a loss for which nothing can compensate.

Great quote DP. It seems many in this nation have grown comfortable here, forgetting we are sojourners here. Excess is prominant, even within professing Christianity. Many do not want to hear this, but we need to undergo persecution so we will know how precious Christ truly is.
