Cracking quotes from Bill Beckham in Redefining Revival

"Religions shut the door to witness. Governments close the door to the church. Cultures lock the door to evangelism. Satan slams the door to the Gospel. But these are the words of him who is holy and true who has the key of David. What he opens no-one can shut and what he shuts no-one can open." (Rev 3:7)

"A church that will impact the twenty first century world must have a small group unit that is simple, self-contained and easily reproduced. The unit must generate fierce loyalty to its lifestyle and must be sustainable during both persecution and prosperity. This basic unit must be able to pass on values, mobilize all members for ministry and produce necessary leaders. It must have the nurturing atmosphere of a family and the committment and accountability of a squad of soldiers. It must be able to live out holiness and reach out to the world in harvest."
