I could never describe it to anyone how I knew, but there was no mistaking it. One moment, I was walking along undecided – and the next moment, I knew that it was God’s will for me to go to America. I don’t think I could describe it any more accurately. Peter Marshall Read Quote
The true minister is in his pulpit not because he has chosen that profession as an easy means of livelihood, but because he could not help it, because he has obeyed an imperious summons that will not be denied. Peter Marshall Read Quote
I know that no business contract, no order or commercial consideration can ever be worth the happiness of one’s home or the peace of one’s mind. Peter Marshall Read Quote
Sometimes this going out in obedience to God’s command is more dramatic than at other times… sometimes more spectacular… sometimes more brave… but always it is a venture into the unknown. Peter Marshall Read Quote
We ministers have undoubtedly failed to connect and apply Christianity to the practical everyday problems of the average man. In this, we have failed to follow in Christ’s footsteps. For the religion which He taught and revealed in His own life and ministry was an intensely practical and down-to-earth affair. Peter Marshall Read Quote
I am growing more and more aware that all too often we preachers aim at nothing and hit it. Peter Marshall Read Quote
God hasn’t given up on you. He can still do great things for you, in you, and through you. God is ready and waiting and able. Peter Marshall Read Quote
Out of profound gratitude for my adopted country, I can only say that I would like in this land to live and die, and while I live to help other people as much as possible, believing that only in service to other people can I possibly express my gratitude for all that America has done for me. Peter Marshall Read Quote
Church members in too many cases are like deep sea divers, encased in the suits designed for many fathoms deep, marching bravely to pull out plugs in bathtubs. Peter Marshall Read Quote
A man walks on through life – with the external call ringing in his ears but with no response stirring in his heart, and then suddenly, without any warning, the Spirit taps him on the shoulder. What happens? He turns ’round. The word ‘repentance’ means ‘turning ’round.’ He repents and believes and is saved. Peter Marshall Read Quote
