So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.

Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.

You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.

I do not believe God is responsible for my sins, some people may. But I believe that my own weaknesses are father-filtered and just as much as God touched Jacob's hip and he walked with a limb the rest of his life, that I have certain emotional weaknesses that are there to keep me dependent on God.

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

Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.

Jonathan Edwards is without a doubt the most brilliant mind America ever produced. I'm not talking about theologian; I'm talking about mind and everybody. I put him above Einstein and everybody else.
