Nobody stood by Jesus. Maybe nobody will stand by you. It's a lonely life, but it's a glorious life.

A wet eyed preacher will never preach dry sermons

How do you learn to pray? Well how do you learn to swim? Do you sit in a chair with your feet up drinking coke learning to swim? You get down and you struggle. That's how you learn to pray.

The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.

Someone asked me, 'Do you pray for the dead?' I said, 'No, I preach to them! I think every pew in every church is death row. Think about that! They're dead! They sing about God; they talk about God, but they're dead! They have no living relationship (with God).

Men build our churches but do not enter them, print our Bibles but do not read them, talk about God but do not believe Him, speak of Christ but do not trust Him for salvation, sing our hymns and then forget them.

Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?
