Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.

An institution has to decide, and it's not just an option, it's a responsibility, how much diversity can be tolerated.

Our responsibility is to get God's word to their ears. Only God can get the word from their ears to their heart.

This generation must know that the total truthfulness of the bible is under continual assault.

Every great leader is a great teacher, and the greatest leaders seize every opportunity to teach well.

The problem with Prosperity Theology is not that it promises too much, but that it aims for so little. What God promises us in Christ is far above anything that can be measured in earthly wealth - and believers are not promised earthly wealth nor the gift of health.
