People pay attention when they see that God actually changes persons and sets them free. When a new Christian stands up and tells how God has revolutionized his or her life, no one dozes off. When someone is healed or released from a life-controlling bondage, everyone takes notice.

Faith never denies reality but leaves room for God to grant a new reality.

I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He cannot resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him.

Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.

Trouble is one of God's great servants because it reminds us how much we continually need the Lord.

I knew God wanted to do much more...and he would, if we provided good soil in which he could work.

He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.
