Faith in Christ makes one a regenerated believer; obedience to the Holy Spirit makes him a spiritual believer.

I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher. I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.

Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.

It does not matter what your personal deficiency, or whether it be a hundred and one different things, God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.

God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.

There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.

I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain, and I most certainly still want to have fun.
