I don't go out and preach because of my desire as much as I go out to fulfill the command of Christ. He said, "Go!" to all of His disciples, and we're to go and witness to Christ by the way we live and by our verbal witness about the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ and about the need to repent and believe. I've never had any doubts about my call.
I am convinced that only when a man is prepared to die is he also prepared to live.
'God is Love' means that He tries constantly to block your route to destruction.
The crowds themselves are meaningless. The thing that counts is what happens to the hearts of the people.
If I had to do it all over again, I would speak less and study more.
Live each day as if it were your last for some day it will be.
I never saw a U-Haul behind a hearse.
Our certainty that angels right now witness how we are walking through life should mightily influence the decisions we make. God is watching, and His angels are interested spectators too.

We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law.
All too often we are more afraid of physical pain than of moral wrong. The cross is the standing evidence of the fact that holiness is a principle for which God would die.
If your faith isn't rooted in the Bible, it will wither like a plant pulled out of the soil.
