“Preceding and accompanying the task of building our Christian schools, we must keep faithfully and practically in mind our primary task of evangelism, the work of winning souls from sin unto salvation, from Satan unto God. This work takes precedence of all other work in the Christian program.
Salvation for sinners is through Jesus Christ alone, nor is there any other name or way under heaven whereby they may be saved.
Our churches, our schools, our religious papers, our hospitals, every organization and agency of the churches should be kept aflame with the passion of New Testament evangelism. Our cities and towns and villages and country places are to echo continually with the sermons and songs of the gospel evangel. The people, high and low, rich and poor, the foreigners, all the people are to be faithfully told of Jesus and his great salvation, and entreated to come unto him to be saved by him and to become his fellow workers.
The only sufficient solvent for all the questions in America – individual, social, economic, industrial, financial, political, educational, moral and religious – is to be found in the Saviourhood and Lordship of Jesus Christ.”
– George W Truett, American clergyman, and president of Southern Baptist Convention
