During a community meeting about mental health, to encourage faith and resilience.
The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.
Maybe a thing that you do not like is really in your interest. It is possible that a thing that you may desire may be against your interest.
If you expect the blessings of God, be kind to His people.
It is bad for a young man to sin; but it is worse for an old man to sin.
Our abode in this world is transitory, our life therein is but a loan, our breaths are numbered and our indolence is manifest.
Do not follow vain desires; for verily he who prospers is preserved from lust, greed and anger.
Before we go to our knees to receive the Baptism of Fire, let me beg of you to see to it that your souls are in harmony with the will and purpose of the Holy Spirit whom you seek.
We will only advance in our evangelistic work as fast and as far as we advance on our knees. Prayer opens the channel between a soul and God; prayerlessness closes it. Prayer releases the grip of Satan's power; prayerlessness increases it. That is why prayer is so exhausting and so vital. If we believed it, the prayer meeting would be as full as the church.
God not only loves me as I am, but also knows me as I am. Because of this I don't need to apply spiritual cosmetics to make myself presentable to Him. I can accept ownership of my poverty and powerlessness and neediness.
When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful; no more, no less.
I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.
Prayer is no fitful, short-lived thing. It is no voice crying unheard and unheeded in the silence. It is a voice which goes into God's ear, and it lives as long as God's ear is open to holy pleas, as long as God's heart is alive to holy things.
