Part of my driving desire as a pastor is to remove every obstacle except the cross that would keep people from coming to faith in Christ.

The only way you can fail is if you stop praying.

I'm pretty intentional about being highly invested in my kids' lives.

Each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground. It disappears for a season, but it eventually bears fruit that blesses future generations. In fact, our prayers bear fruit forever.

Prayer is not about letting God know your will; it's about completely submitting to him. You die to yourself.

If you wait for perfect conditions to seize an opportunity, you'll be waiting till the day you die.

I've always believed in the power of prayer. One prayer can accomplish more than a thousand plans. That isn't a magic formula, but it's an idea that if you pray, keep praying and then praying some more.
