Every church needs to grow warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through through worship, and larger through evangelism.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time

You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

My happiness has to come from within myself or it is too fragile a thing to be of any use to me and too much of a burden to benefit any of my loved ones.

I'd rather risk screwing up with you than not even try.

Of course God will forgive me that's His job.

Anything done for the first time unleashes a demon.

Being born not long after the war meant that money was tight. I grew up in a rural corner of Lincolnshire and my father worked on local farms. Being one of nine kids meant we didn't have much.

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!

The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.
