The command is plain: you go into the whole world and announce the good news. It cannot be dispensationalized, typicalized, rationalized....

I have not the foggiest idea how or where God will lead you. Of this I am sure. He will lead you and not let you miss your signs. Rest in this-it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call, or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you...

The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate Word from God. Tarry long for it.

- Jim Elliot, Missionary to the Auca Indians 1952, "Shadow of the Almighty"
