We also need to recognize that God may have other plans in store for us, and we must be willing to accept that.

When someone gets up and says that the Bible is not the word of God, I really don't care what their point is. That, to me, is apostasy.

I think there is always new people that have never heard the gospel before that need to have it because the gospel - which is the death, resurrection of Christ and the message of his forgiveness - is the only hope for a person knowing that they will go to Heaven and then finding the meaning and purpose they search for in life.

Giving is a responsibility. It is an opportunity. And it is a blessing for every follower of Jesus Christ.

The gospel is only good news if it gets there on time. I think if we don't deliver this message, it's negligence of the highest order. It would be like if you were walking down the street and a house was on fire and you heard screams coming from inside and you just kept walking. How irresponsible is that? At the very least, call 911 but better yet, you might run in and try to save the people.

I have found that if you invest in the lives of people, well-feed sheep will reproduce themselves.

I believe that the work of the Holy Spirit, through the church, will continue on.
