I don't have a lot of time in the sermon anyway. The sermon is only 25 minutes, which to me is frighteningly short. So I feel as if I need to get into that pretty quickly and make it as practical and accessible as possible.

I don't have any desire to retire in the sense of not doing anything. Because as long as the Lord gives me strength I want to keep writing and keep preaching. I love what I do.

When a Christian stops growing, help is needed. If you are the same Christian you were a few months ago, be careful.

Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.

I don't think I have ever created an entire fiction piece or followed a historical piece and made that into a sermon.
