Those are decisions only the Lord will make. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have.

Some of the greatest values that have influenced me through the years are those that I learned as a boy growing up on the farm. I remember mostly the love in our family, but I also remember the discipline. Then there was the work; we all had to work.

Over the years I've seen people lose a spouse and then withdraw and lose interest in life, and I believe we need to resist that.

A life touched by the Holy Spirit will tolerate sin no longer.

My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world. It rests in Christ who is coming again.

One of the greatest priorities of the church today is to mobilize the laity to do the work of evangelism.

The growing possibility of our destroying ourselves and the world with our own neglect and excess is tragic and very real.
