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.

If a pastor focuses only on teaching, he grows members with big ears and rears but tiny hands and hearts.Service is MODELED not taught.

Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.

The fact is, you can say you love God and sing that you trust God and put him first, but your checkbook is where you can show just how much God's grace means to you.

What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.

Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.

To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.
