If You Are Accused Of Being A Christian, There Should Be Enough Evidence To Convict You.

I'm Just Telling You, God Permits Things In Our Lives Sometimes For Reasons That We Do Not Understand Yet Because Of The Spiritual Level That We're On. We Can't Have Any Understanding Of It, Because We're Not At A Place Of Spiritual Growth Yet Where We Understand The Deeper Things Of God.

You Can Have Jesus In Your Spirit And An Outrgeous Mess In Your Soul, And If You Don't Know What That's Called It's Called Religion. That's What It's Called Dead Dry Religion......jesus Said You Are A Bunch Of White Washed Tombs Full Of Dead Men's Bones, And I Tell You If That Didn't Describe Me I Don't Know What Did, Because On Sunday Mornings I Dressed It Up And Took It To Church.

When We Make Progress Quickly, It Feeds Our Emotions. Then, When There's A Period Of Waiting Or We Hit A Plateau, We Find Out How Committed We Really Are And Whether We're Going To See Things Through To The Finish Or Quit.

I Had Received Christ As My Savior When I Was A Child, But I Didn't Know Anything. I Didn't Have Any Knowledge. I Didn't Go To Church. And I Had A Lot Of Problems, And I Needed Somebody To Kind Of Help Me Along. And I Think Sometimes Even People Who Want To Serve God, If They Have Got So Many Problems That They Don't Think Right And They Don't Act Right And They Don't Behave Right, They Almost Need Somebody To Take Them By The Hand And Help Lead Them Through The Early Years. And That's Really What Discipleship Is. It's Helping People.

Loving People Is The Highest Level Of Spiritual Warfare That We Could Ever Do

Make Sure You Are Doing What Is Important To God-not Just What Is Important To Everyone Else You Know.

Early On In My Life, I Had A Broken Soul. I Was Abused By My Father, Abandoned By My Mother And Ended Up In A Destructive First Marriage. By The Time I Was 23, I Was Broken In My Soul. I Didn't Know How To Think Right. I Felt Wrong About Everything. But God Stepped Into My Life, And I Came Out On The Other Side And Didn't Even Smell Like Smoke.

Jesus Never Mistreated Anyone Just Because They Mistreated Him. He Confronted Them In A Spirit Of Gentleness And Then Continued To Love Them.

So, I Decided That Even Though I Did Not Have A Good Beginning, I Made A Decision That I Was Going To Let Go Of What Lies Behind And I Was Going To Have A Great Finish.

My Purpose In Life Is To Do Right And To Glorify God.

Purpose Of Life

Battles Are Fought In Our Minds Every Day. When We Begin To Feel The Battle Is Just Too Difficult And Want To Give Up, We Must Choose To Resist Negative Thoughts And Be Determined To Rise Above Our Problems.

I'm Going To Make It!"

Over The Years I've Learned How To Lock Myself Up In A Prison Of Hope, Knowing That God Has Nothing But His Best Planned For Me. He Promised Me Things Concerning My Ministry And My Life.

But There Is A Way To Live A Simple, Joy-filled, Peaceful Life, And The Key Is Learning How To Be Led By The Holy Spirit, Not The Traditions Or Expectations Of Man.

Everything Doesn't Have To Feel Good To Be God

God Wants To Help Us... He Loves Us... We Are His Children. But He Will Not Force His Help On Us At Any Time. He Sees Us When We Struggle And Fight And Complain Our Way Through Things. And I Believe It Breaks His Heart, When All We Have To Do Is Ask Him For Help.

Satan Can Control You If You Let Outward Things Determine Your Security.

Worry And Reasoning Are Two Of Satan's Most Successful Tools. He'll Get Us Started With One Negative Thought And Then Sit Back And Watch Us Finish Ourselves Off.

Spiritual People Don't Float Around All Day On Clouds Of Glory; They Live In The Real World And Deal With Real Issues In Real Ways.

I Think We Need To Get Smart Enough To Do What's Going To Help Us And Not Just Continue To Do Things That Are Going To Hurt Us. It's Pretty Easy To Read Something Or Hear About It In A Message, But It's That Personal Application Of That Where It's Just You, God, And Your Problems, That Are Going To Give You The Power To Get Stronger And Stronger.

Get Up Every Day, Love God, And Do Your Best. He Will Do The Rest!

Spending Time With God Through Prayer And His Word Is A Prerequisite For Having A Great Life And Fulfilling Your Purpose.

You're So Caught Up In Grumbling, Complaining, And Seeing What's Wrong That You Have No Energy Or Time To Appreciate What's Good.

I Am Amazed That People Want To Ask Me Questions About God's Work In My Life. The Interviews Are A Great Way To Share God's Life-changing Message And I Pray That God Continues To Open This Door For Christians.

You Have The Power To Make The World A Better Place By Being Kind To Someone Today

Consider A Tree For A Moment. As Beautiful As Trees Are To Look At, We Don't See What Goes On Underground - As They Grow Roots. Trees Must Develop Deep Roots In Order To Grow Strong And Produce Their Beauty. But We Don't See The Roots. We Just See And Enjoy The Beauty. In Much The Same Way, What Goes On Inside Of Us Is Like The Roots Of A Tree.
