Life itself, every bit of health that we enjoy, every hour of liberty and free enjoyment, the ability to see, to hear, to speak, to think, and to imagine- all this comes from the hand of God. We show our gratitude by giving back to Him a part of that which He has given to us.

God's holiness demands that sin be punished - but God's love has provided the way of redemption through Christ.

If you'd have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn't know what you were talking about. And then, they'd be against it.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to. But looking back I know I sometimes cros­sed the line, and I wouldn’t do that now.

It seemed like a perfect way to make some money for college. And being away from my parents and learning to make my own way gave me self confidence.
