Never ask God to provide for you what you can provide for yourself. Get up and go get it because God will only provide what you can't.

The vital Christian arouses opposition because he is a standing rebuke to the selfishness and sin of those around him.

I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, that there was to be a homosexual parade on the Monday that the Katrina came, and the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing, and I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.

Paul never developed a negative attitude. He picked his bloody body up out of the dirt and went back into the city where he had almost been stoned to death, and he said, "Hey, about that sermon I didn't finish preaching - here it is!"

Since my money is God's money, every spending decision I make is a spiritual decision.

God never alters the robe of righteousness to fit the man. Rather He alters the man to fit the robe.

A pure heart won't get us out of conflict and controversy. It may well be the very thing that gets us into it.
