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.

New believers are the lifeblood of the church. We can either evangelize or fossilize.

And any declaration of faith that does not result in a changed life and good works is a false declaration. It is faith alone that justifies. But faith that justifies can never be alone.

What we now consider to be radical behavior was to early believers nothing more than a sincere attempt to live obediently.

So here is what it comes down to: the ultimate choice in life is between pleasing ourselves and pleasing God.

I take it very seriously when I take the pulpit. That I'm representing God.

I do believe that we are living in the last days. I know this has been said before but there are events happening in our world right now that, to me, are what we call signs of the times.
