NT apocalyptic cosmology in one sentence: “The deepest motive for mission is simply the desire to be with Jesus where he is, on the frontier between the reign of God and the usurped dominion of the devil.” - Lesslie Newbigin
--lifted from @pavi
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

This thought was at the center of Simpson's early circle and motivated their works of faith. R.A. Jaffray for example had a vision of holding the globe in his hands with the thought of being charged w/ the blood of the unreached peoples in Asia.
"Difficulties and obstacles are God's challenges to faith. When hindrances confront us in the path of duty we are to recognize them as vessels that faith can fill with the fullness and all-sufficiency of Jesus."
