Knowing we will be with Christ forever far outweighs our burdens today! Keep your eyes on eternity!

I am conscious of the fact that the subject of hell is not a very pleasant one. It is very unpopular, controversial and misunderstood.... As a minister, I must deal with it. I cannot ignore it.

Don't be a half-Christian. There are too many of such in the world. The world has a profound respect for people who are sincere in their faith.

Ruth and I don't have a perfect marriage, but we have a great one. How can I say two things that seem so contradictory? In a perfect marriage, everything is always the finest and best imaginable; like a Greek statue, the proportions are exact and the finish is unblemished. Who knows any human being lke that? For a marriage couple to expect perfection in each other is unrealistic.

Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year. It brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul.

My job is simply to proclaim the Gospel, and to let the Spirit of God apply in the individual hearts. When I give the invitation for people to receive Christ it will be so quiet you can hear a pin drop. And you will see people coming forward deliberately, quietly, reverently, thoughtfully, and many of their lives. . . . will have been transformed and changed in that moment.

The Bible is not an option, it is a necessity. You cannot grow spiritually strong without it.
