Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don't complain.
A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian.
God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.
I haven't been faithful to my own advice in the past. I will in the future.
I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.
We are the Bibles the world is reading; We are the creeds the world is needing; We are the sermons the world is heeding.

The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.
I am convinced the greatest act of love we can ever perform for people is to tell them about God's love for them in Christ.
My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.
Don't let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door - if we seek it.
Life is just a schoolroom with a glorious opportunity to prepare us for eternity.
Our world today so desperately hungers for hope, yet uncounted people have almost given up. There is despair and hopelessness on every hand. Let us be faithful in proclaiming the hope that is in Jesus.
To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees.
