If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

When you're full of yourself, God can't fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.

You'll always face problems. When you experience hard times, immerse your mind in God thoughts. Turn a deaf ear to doubters. Set your mind on a holy cause. Once you find your mountain, no giant will stop you, no age will disqualify you, and no problem will defeat you.

If you're looking for a place with no change, try a soda machine.

You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done - but simply because you are.

I think what happens is that we're so busy as pastors that we never get around to trying to turn that material into a book. It's a shame because there is so much good material out there that needs to be published.
