You've got a lot to look forward to in Heaven. Compared to what's in store for you in Heaven, your current pain and problems are petty.

A church will never grow beyond its capacity to meet needs.

Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.

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.

the moment you stop learning, you stop leading.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

And you know, when you've experienced grace and you feel like you've been forgiven, you're a lot more forgiving of other people. You're a lot more gracious to others.
