It Should Not Be Surprising If People Believe Easily In A God Who Makes No Demands, But This Is Not The God Of The Bible.

The Thing That I Remember The Most In My Childhood Was The Love Of Family And The Discipline In The Family. My Father And Mother Both Were Disciplinarians, And They Didn't Mind Using The Rod. Maybe Because I Was The Oldest Child I Always Felt I Got Much More Of It Than Anybody Else.

I Have A Certainty About Eternity That Is A Wonderful Thing, And I Thank God For Giving Me That Certainty. I Do Not Fear Death. I May Fear A Little Bit About The Process, But Not Death Itself, Because I Think The Moment That My Spirit Leaves This Body, I Will Be In The Presence Of The Lord.

I Want People To Remember Me That I Was Faithful, Faithful To The Gospel, Faithful To The Call That God Gave Me. And When I Get To Heaven, I'm Going To Ask Him Why He Called Me, Because I Was Much Used To Milking Cows And Working On The Farm Than I Was Preaching.

I Think We Are Trying To Run The Space Age With Horse And Buggy Moral And Spiritual Equipment. Technology You See Has No Morals; And With No Moral Restraints Man Will Destroy Himself Ecologically, Militarily, Or In Some Other Way. Only God Can Give A Person Moral Restraints And Spiritual Strength.

A Calling Is You Feel - You Look Out And See The Need - Maybe It's The Need For The Poor, To Help Poor People. Maybe It's The Need To Get Involved In The Race Problem, As Martin Luther King Was - Felt Called.

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.

Is It Not Arrogance Or Narrow-mindedness To Claim That There Is Only One Way Of Salvation Or That The Way We Follow Is The Right Way? I Think Not. After All, Do We Fault A Pilot For Being Narrow-minded When He Follows The Instrument Panel While Landing In A Rainstorm? No, We Want Him To Remain Narrowly Focused!

I Don't Think The Government Should Be In The Trailer-park Business. I Don't Think They Know How To Run A Trailer Park.

Courage Is Contagious. When A Brave Man Takes A Stand, The Spines Of Others Are Often Stiffened.

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.

I Have So Many Gay Friends, And We Remain Friends.

Salvation Is Free! God Puts No Price Tag On The Gift Of Gifts.

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.

Whatever You Love Most, Be It Sports, Pleasure, Business Or God, That Is Your God!

Living For Christ Is A Day-to-day Going On With Him. It Is A Continuous Dependence Upon The Spirit Of God. It Is Believing In His Faithfulness.

But Those Who Chose To Reject God During Their Lifetime On Earth Will Be Separated From Him For Eternity. This Is Not God's Desire, But Man's Own Choice. God Holds Every Man Accountable For His Rejection Of Christ.

Think About The Holes Children Make When They Dig In The Sand On The Seashore. When The Waves Come In, The Holes Are Swallowed Up By The Ocean. Similarly, When We Know Christ, Our Physical Death Is Overwhelmed By The Love And Grace Of God. Death Is Swallowed Up In The Victory Of Christ.

I'd Grown Up In A Presbyterian Church, But I Really Didn't Know Christ Personally In My Heart. I Knew Him, But I Didn't Know Him. And There's A Difference Between An Intellectual Faith And A Personal, Heart Faith In Which I Opened My Heart To Him And Let Him Rule My Life.

God Will Hold Us Responsible As To How Well We Fulfill Our Responsibilities To This Age And Take Advantage Of Our Opportunities.

The Highest Form Of Worship Is The Worship Of Unselfish Christian Service. The Greatest Form Of Praise Is The Sound Of Consecrated Feet Seeking Out The Lost And Helpless.

Everybody Is A Sinner Before God. And I Think We Magnify It Today Because We Have Television, And We Have So Many Other Technologies That Make What Happens In Some Other Part Of The World In Our Living Room.

You Can't Change Your Past But You Can Change You Destiny But Deciding For Christ.

The Reason We Have This Inner Conviction That Death Is Not The End - And That Heaven Exists - Is Because We Were Created In The Image Of God.

The Greatest Miracle Of The Bible Is That The Prophets Of Israel Could Keep A Religion As Clean As A Hounds Tooth Amid All The Corruption And Idolatry Of The Nations Surrounding Them.

For Me, The Best Time To Pray Is The Very Moment A Tense Situation Or An Unspiritual Attitude Overtakes Me. God The Holy Spirit Is Always There, Ready To Help Me Gain Victory In The Spiritual Battles I Face-big Or Small.

Our Valleys May Be Filled With Foes And Tears; But We Can Lift Our Eyes To The Hills To See God And The Angels, Heaven's Spectators, Who Support Us According To God's Infinite Wisdom As They Prepare Our Welcome Home.

Life Is A Glorious Opportunity, If It Is Used To Condition Us For Eternity. If We Fail In This, Though We Succeed In Everything Else, Our Life Will Have Been A Failure.

Death Is Robbed Of Much Of Its Terror For The True Believer.

Two Conflicting Forces Cannot Exist In One Human Heart. When Doubt Reigns, Faith Cannot Abide. Where Hatred Rules, Love Is Crowded Out. Where Selfishness Rules, There Love Cannot Dwell. When Worry Is Present, Trust Cannot Crowd Its Way In.

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

The Unblemished Ideal Exists Only In Happily-ever-after Fairy Tales. Ruth Likes To Say, "if Two People Agree On Everything, One Of Them Is Unnecessary." The Sooner We Accept That As A Fact Of Life, The Better We Will Be Able To Adjust To Each Other And Enjoy Togetherness. "happily Incompatible" Is A Good Adjustment.

The Word Of God Teaches That Christians Suffer In Order That They Might Glorify God In Their Lives.

The End Of The World Begins The Moment You Die.

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 Will Of God Will Not Take Us Where The Grace Of God Cannot Sustain Us.

I've Never Had Any Doubts About My Call.

We Never Know When We Too Will Be Called Into Eternity. I Doubt If Even One Of Those People Who Got On Those Planes Or Walked Into The World Trade Center Or The Pentagon Last Tuesday Morning Thought It Would Be The Last Day Of Their Lives. They Didn't - It Didn't Occur To Them. And That's Why Each Of Us Needs To Face Our Own Spiritual Need And Commit Ourselves To God And His Will Now.
