T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the profound nature and dynamic of ministry, asserting that true ministry is the outshining of Christ from within believers, not merely a function of teaching or preaching. He highlights the Apostle Paul's transformative experience on the Damascus Road as the source of effective ministry, which is rooted in a personal revelation of Jesus Christ. Sparks further explains that the Church's purpose is to embody this New Humanity, reflecting Christ's presence and glory in the world. He challenges conventional views of ministry and the Church, urging believers to recognize their inherent calling to minister Christ in their daily lives. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper understanding of the Church as a collective expression of Christ, transcending institutional boundaries.

A.W. Tozer addresses the issue of disillusionment with the church, arguing that many find it intolerable due to a lack of clear purpose and direction beyond mundane activities. He emphasizes that the early Christians were driven by a profound understanding of their role in God's eternal plan, which included predestination, redemption, and the promise of an eternal inheritance. This knowledge fueled their enthusiasm and commitment to Christ, contrasting sharply with the spiritless nature of many modern congregations. Tozer calls for a revival of this sense of purpose to reignite passion and zeal within the church community.
