I want to live with autonomy. That's the essence of sin.

Those who only seek friends without seeking to be a good friend are selfishly needy and demanding. And those who only want to be a good friend but do not wisely seek good friends are bound to be taken advantage of, abused, neglected, and suffer from their foolish friend choices.

If my words don't flow out of a heart that rests in God's control, sovereignty, then they come out of the heart that seeks control so I can get what I want.

I study the Bible all week, pray to the Lord, and then I speak from my heart. It's all about brutal honesty.

Every great cause was initiated by someone whose heart was broken.

I'll preach anywhere. If it's a round trip ticket to preach in hell, I'll take it-as long as it's round trip.

Faith only grows through suffering.
