from Gifts of the Spirit: Necessity in the Church–by A.W. Tozer
Do you dare to accept the fact that the sovereign God had designed to do all of His work through spiritually-gifted men and women? Therefore, He does all of His work on earth through humble and faithful believers who are given spiritual gifts and abilities beyond their own capacities.
Let me shock you at this point: A naturally bright person can carry on religious activity without a special gift from God. Filling church pulpits every week are some who are using only natural abilities and special training. Some are known as Bible expositors, for it is possible to read and study commentaries and then repeat what has been learned about the Scriptures.
Yes, it may shock you, but it is true that anyone able to talk fluently can learn to use religious phrases and can become recognized as a preacher.
But if any man is determined to preach so that his work and ministry will abide in the day of the judgement fire, then he must preach, teach and exhort with the kind of love and concern that comes only through a true and genuine gift of the Holy Spirit–something beyond his own capabilities!

from Filming God by Darren Wilson
God has called us to go out and make disciples of all nations, not converts. A disciple implies a personal relationship, and all good relationships start with the core understanding that the other person does, in fact, love us and is looking out for our best interests.
It is my contention that maybe, just maybe, we need to lay our agendas down, both as individual Christians and as a Church as a whole, and simply begin loving those around us, those in need, with no strings attached. What would this world look like if we simply let the force of His grace and mercy and character win them over?

Rylands Library Papyrus P52
To date P52 is the oldest extant verse discovered from the New Testament at approximately 125 AD. I find it interesting that almost the whole of the Gospel is stated in these words from this tiny fragment.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The papyrus is written on both sides and hence must be from a codex, a sewn and folded book, not a scroll, roll or isolated sheet; and the surviving portion also includes part of the top and inner margins of the page. The recto consequently preserves the top left corner of a right-hand page; while the verso preserves the top right corner of a left-hand page. The characters in bold style are the ones that can be seen in Papyrus
52.
Gospel of John 18:31-33 (recto)

the Jews, “For us it is not permitted to kill
anyone,” so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he sp-
oke signifying what kind of death he was going to
die. Entered therefore again into the Praeto-
rium Pilate and summoned Jesus
and said to him, “Thou art king of the
Jews?”
Gospel of John 18:37-38 (verso)

a King I am. For this I have been born
and (for this) I have come into the world so that I would test-
ify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth
hears of me my voice.” Said to him
Pilate, “What is truth?” and this
having said, again he went out unto the Jews
and said to them, “I find not one
fault in him.”
