A church begins to die when it says, ‘They were just children.

There is nothing to be intimidated about - it's just another long run where a few more people show up and they happen to wear numbers.

I have become convinced that if God stands a child before you, for even just a minute, it is a divine appointment.

I spend half my time comforting the afflicated, and the other half afflicting the comfortable.

I have become convinced that the more wealth a country accumulates, the more isolated and lonely its people become. The loneliest are usually the children and the elderly. Children learn what they live, and isolation in the ‘village’ is one of the most destructive messages we daily write on the tablets of their hearts.

So why is a third of our world battling obesity and spending huge sums to burn off excess calories, while the other two-thirds yearn to get more of them?

We absolutely must battle with every bit of determination we can muster to root out the harm that would warp the souls and spirits of children in our world.
