What God Is Doing Today Is Calling People Out Of The World For His Name. Whether They Come From The Muslim World, Or The Buddhist World, Or The Christian World, Or The Non-believing World, They Are Members Of The Body Of Christ Because They've Been Called By God. They May Not Even Know The Name Of Jesus, But They Know In Their Hearts They Need Something That They Don't Have And They Turn To The Only Light They Have And I Think They're Saved And They're Going To Be With Us In Heaven.

I'm Against Divorce. I Think The Bible Teaches That Divorce Is Wrong, But At The Same Time, I Also Believe That The Bible Has A Leave Way; Jesus Said That A Person Should Not Be Divorced And Should Not Be Separated.

For A Marriage Couple To Expect Perfection In Each Other Is Unrealistic.

Jesus Christ Is The Greatest Man In The History Of The World. And To Me, He's The Greatest Person In The History Of Mankind And The Universe. We Can't Prove It, I Can't Put It In A Test Tube Or In An Astronomical Formula, But By Faith I Believe It Because The Bible Teaches It.

There Is No Way Of Salvation Except Through The Cross Of Christ.

I Have Never Talked Publicly Or Privately About The Jewish People, Including Conversations With President Nixon, Except In The Most Positive Terms.

Each Life Is Made Up Of Mistakes And Learning, Waiting And Growing, Practicing Patience And Being Persistent.

Having Knowledge Of The Bible Is Essential To A Rich And Meaningful Life.

Faith Is The Avenue To Salvation. Not Intellectual Understanding. Not Money. Not Your Works. Just Simple Faith. How Much Faith? The Faith Of A Mustard Seed, So Small You Can Hardly See It. But If You Will Put That Little Faith In The Person Of Jesus, Your Life Will Be Changed. He Will Come With Supernatural Power Into Your Heart. It Can Happen To You.

Even When Life May Be Difficult, We Should Thank God For All He Does For Us-which We Do Not Deserve.

Jesus Was Not A White Man; He Was Not A Black Man. He Came From That Part Of The World That Touches Africa And Asia And Europe. Christianity Is Not A White Man's Religion And Don't Let Anybody Ever Tell You That It's White Or Black. Christ Belongs To All People; He Belongs To The Whole World.

I Think That If I Would Talk On A Political Subject, If I Talk About It, It Would Divide The Audience On That Issue. That's Not My Issue.

Remember: The Bible Is Our Only Authoritative Source Of Information About Heaven.

There Are People That Say They Will Do Better But They Never Do Better. They Have No Power In Them To Do Better Until They Come To Christ.

The Christian Life Is Not A Constant High. I Have My Moments Of Deep Discouragement. I Have To Go To God In Prayer With Tears In My Eyes, And Say, 'o God, Forgive Me,' Or 'help Me.'

I Also Would Have Steered Clear Of Politics. I’m Grateful For The Opportunities God Gave Me To Minister To People In High Places; People In Power Have Spiritual And Personal Needs Like Everyone Else, And Often They Have No One To Talk To. But Looking Back I Know I Sometimes Crossed The Line, And I Wouldn’t Do That Now.

The Men Who Followed Him Were Unique In Their Generation. They Turned The World Upside Down Because Their Hearts Had Been Turned Right Side Up. The World Has Never Been The Same.

There Are Three Of You. There Is The Person You Think You Are. There Is The Person Others Think You Are. There Is The Person God Knows You Are And Can Be Through Christ.

In A Very Real Sense, The Suffering Of This World Was Created By Man Himself.

God Knows What Is Best For You, And He Wants To Reveal It To You And Show You What You Ought To Do.

I Will Buy You Back With My Blood Because I Love You. I Will Free You From The Chains Of Sin. I Will Settle The Conflict Within And Give Peace To Your Soul. But You Must Come To Me With A Repentant Heart. You Must Be Willing To Be Redeemed. You Must Exchange Your Sin-blackened Heart For A New Heart That Is Cleansed By My Blood.

You're Born. You Suffer. You Die. Fortunately, There's A Loophole.

I Go And I Keep Friends With [abe] Rosenthal At The New York Times And People Of That Sort, You Know. And All - I Mean, Not All The Jews, But A Lot Of The Jews Are Great Friends Of Mine, They Swarm Around Me And Are Friendly To Me Because They Know That I'm Friendly With Israel.

To A Large Extent, The American Church Has Become Merged With The World. It Has Adopted So Many Of The World's Ideals And Standards That It Has Lost Its Ability To Stem The Tide Of Crime, Deception And Immorality That Is Sweeping The Nation. For Millions Of Church Members There Is No Deep Commitment To The Cause Of Christ, No Regularity Of Attendance At Public Worship, No Sacrificial Giving, No Personal Religious Discipline.

I Think That Hell Essentially Is Separation From God Forever. And That Is The Worst Hell That I Can Think Of.

The Beatles Are A Passing Phase, Symptoms Of The Confusion About Us.

America Is Said To Have The Highest Per Capita Boredom Of Any Spot On Earth! We Know That Because We Have The Greatest Number Of Artificial Amusements Of Any Country.

They Have To Pay Other People To Amuse Them, To Make Then Laugh, To Try To Make Them Feel Warm And Happy And Comfortable For A Few Minutes, To Try To Lose That Awful, Frightening, Hollow Feeling-that Terrible, Dreaded Feeling Of Being Lost And Alone.

God Did Not Create The Strife Between Races, Nor Did He Intend For It To Be That Way. Strife Between Races And Ethnic Groups Comes From Sin-and Sin Resides In The Human Heart. The Bible Says, “what Causes Fights And Quarrels Among You? Don’t They Come From Your Desires That Battle Within You?” (james 4:1).

Day To Remember

And All Of A Sudden, All Of My Sins Came Before Me. Everything I Had Ever Done Wrong That I Had Forgotten About Years Ago Came Into My Mind.
