No matter how much talent you have in your mind and spirit, if your body is not able to function, you are not able to fulfill your destiny.

All over this nation, all over this world there are people going to church today and they say they are believers, but until you can take what you've been taught and bring it to the place you gave up - you will never be the radical believer that you need to be for the times in which we live.
