Paul says that as Christians we can rejoice even in tough times because we have hope and because we know that God is working in our lives.

From the very beginning, I started preaching when I was 16 years old. So I began studying Scripture very seriously. I had done over a hundred revivals in Baptist churches before I was 20. So I am studying the Scripture as a kid and I'm noticing that Christians often wanted to excuse God from things that God doesn't need excusing from.

I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions.

There's a difference between freedom of worship and freedom of religion. Worship is an event that happens inside the house of worship. Religion is a lifestyle. It is a way of living.

I'm not going to get into a debate over the non-essentials. I won't try to change other denominations. Why be divisive?

I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.

Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
