For a love that is born from God is a love that gives with the same reflex as that which causes a bird to sing or the heart to beat… The love that arises from God is a love that loves anonymously, a love that acts without self-centred reflections, that gives without thought. -Peter Rollins, "How (Not) To Speak of God"
"Love never asks what benefit it will derive from love. Love from its very nature is a disinterested thing.It loves for the creature’s sake it loves, and for nothing else."
-C. H. Spurgeon
“We may do well to recognize what seems to be the consistent thrust of the whole Bible—that unless and until, in faith, the future of the world becomes more important than the future of the church, the church has no future. As Jesus put it, the most dangerous thing you can do is seek to save your life . . . .” -Ralph Winter (Six Essential Components of World Evangelization)
