We have taken God out of our education system. We have taken Him out of government. You have lawyers that sue you every time you mention the name of Jesus Christ in any public forum.
God empowered him; and my father, when he stood to preach, he wasn't preaching his message, he was preaching God's message.
I've never really been one to try to be politically correct. I just feel truth is truth, and sometimes I probably offend some people.
You have to look at what a person does with his life. Anyone can say that he's a Christian, but you look at how they live.
I think AIDS can be won. I think we can win this fight. It is winnable. But it means behavior change.
It's hard to pin down what it means to be an evangelical today. It's been diluted quite a bit. It is a powerful voting bloc, no question, but they're liberal as well as conservative - and they're made of Latinos, blacks, whites.
I saw my father preach in Madison Square Garden, and I was a little embarrassed, I think, the first time I heard him preach. That's my father up there, and I kind of slid down in my chair.
We're not attacking Islam but Islam has attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. He's not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It's a different God, and I believe it [Islam] is a very evil and wicked religion. ... When you read the Koran and you read the verses from the Koran, it instructs the killing of the infidel, for those that are non-Muslim.
Christians can trust God to redeem even the greatest of tragedies and the most desperate of situations.
It was Christ who willingly went to the cross, and it was our sins that took him there.
When we realize and embrace the Lord's will for us, we will love to do it. We won't want to do anything else. It's a passion.
True followers of Christ emulate Christ—true followers of Mohammed emulate Mohammed.
We can all humbly say in the sincerity of faith, "I am loved; I am called; I am secure."
We certainly love the Muslim people. But that is not the faith of this country. And that is not the religion that built this nation. The people of the Christian faith and the Jewish faith are the ones who built America, and it is not Islam.
