The truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.

I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.

A $50 haircut, cool glasses, skinny jeans and a tattoo does not a prophet make.

I want to submit to you tonight that this country is not gospel-hardened; it is gospel-ignorant because most of its preachers are. And let me repeat this: the malady in this country is not liberal politicians, the root of socialism, Hollywood, or anything else; it is the so-called evangelical pastor, preacher, and evangelist of our day. That is where the malady is to be found.

The MORE you Trust in the Arm of the FLESH, the LESS you're going to see of the POWER of GOD.

You go up to the devil and ask if he knows he's a sinner and he'll say, "Well, yes I am! And a mighty fine one at that!"

Entering in the narrow gate is allowing Him to define your life, and not in general terms. See, there's your problem. 'Oh, Jesus is everything to me, and Jesus is Lord.' Okay, specifically though, explain to me what that means: what has it cost you, how have you changed your life from the course the rest of the world is walking in?
