Discipling Nations Quotes As a continuation from yesterday, we are inserting quotes taken from ONLINE magazine* about the concept of "Discipling Nations."
"Sometimes when I speak with godly, sincere Christians about changing a culture they say, 'Impossible. It can't be done.' Those were the same words spoken to Nehemiah [when he returned to rebuild Jerusalem]. Do we really believe the nations can be changed? The world thinks that we are spitting against the wind, that doing good is a lost cause because the world is degenerating to destruction anyway. It's not true! The blood of Jesus is available to restore anything that is redeemable." Tom Marshall, Author and Teacher
"Dallas has a higher percentage of born-again believers than any city in America, yet statistically it has as many social problems as other cities. Likewise, in southern Africa Christianity is spreading faster than any place on earth, but the social structures of the nations there are disintegrating. We must address this paradox. If the gospel we preach is to be relevant, it must not only transform a person's spiritual condition, but then through their lives begin transforming the society in which they live." Landa Cope, founding Dean, College of Communications, University of the Nations
