Dead to All but the Mighty Purpose of God

William Still on fruitful ministry:

The only reason why a truly regenerate and divinely called servant of God fails to be fruitful in his own day, whatever secondary reasons he hides behind, must be that he is not living in instant, tensile experience of the death/resurrection of Christ, nor is dead to all but the mighty purpose of God.
