To be active in a church social life or church activities or even a church mission to help the hungry or reach the poor, but really our dedication has to be born out of an infatuation with Jesus.

Every time we equip the church with a verse, chapter or a story from the Bible, we're really placing another weapon in the hands of the Holy Spirit that He uses to challenge and strengthen the church. I think that's very important.

What we realize is number one, people want to know what the Bible says. In their heart, they want to know the Bible but it is just hard to understand the big picture of it. And number two, they want to know where they plug in.

All of my books began as sermons, so really the heart of the message is still the same.

History is not an endless succession of meaningless circles but a directed movement toward a great event.

Jesus will press his thumb against the cheek of humanity and wipe away all tears.

Because of Bethlehem, I have a friend in heaven.
