Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.

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.

Life minus love equals zero.

We have to be even more Christocentric because of the influence of Islam today.

We don't have to make the bible relevant-it is-but we have to show its relevance. What is irrelevant, in my opinion, is our style of communicating it. We are tending to still use the style from 50 years back that doesn't match who we are trying to reach today.

The very first task of leadership is to set the vision for the organization. If you don't set the vision, you're not the leader.

The most damaging aspect of contemporary living is short-term thinking.
