There are some people that say I need to be more academic in my teaching, I need to be more disciple developing focus, probably true. But where my heart is, is with people who are just passing through difficult time. I want to put literature in a form that is accessible for people who don't particularly read books.

I think "creative preaching" is redundant.

I try to be honest; I really do try not to exaggerate the story. I try to be accurate.

The only mistake is not to risk making one.

God sees in you a masterpiece about to happen

I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.

Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace.
