Salvation is not a religion. It's not rules or regulations or rituals. Salvation is a relationship. That relationship doesn't begin when you get to Heaven; it begins here on Earth.

Spiritual emptiness is a universal disease.

Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God.

The goal of 'The Purpose Driven Life' is to help people develop a heart for the world.

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.

That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.

A Christian ought to speak kindly even when given the opportunity to retaliate.
