“Success is not what you have done compared to what others have done. Success is what you have done compared to what you were supposed to do.”
“It is in following Christ as our captain that we can win in our personal lives, families, churches, and communities.”
“The cross is to be our point of reference for every area of our lives all the time.”
“To carry our cross is to have such a commitment and identify with Jesus Christ and what He accomplished that I am willing to suffer the repercussions to that identification.”
“Black lives matter, as a subset of all lives matter. So any injustices to a particular group must be addressed specific to that group but under the banner that all life is created in the image of God.”
“Slavery was ungodly, unrighteous, and unbiblical.”
“Biblical justice is the equitable application of God's moral law in society.”
“The truth is an objective standard by which reality is measured; it's God's point of view on any subject.”
“The goal was not only to teach people the Bible and minister to people personally and spiritually, but also to build a church to be community focused.”
“Ministry burnout is a real problem because it's never-ending.”
“What God wants is for us to live by His rules, resulting in the receiving of His blessing and power. When we as Christians, celebrating our differences, join together as the house of God representing the kingdom of God for the glory of God, we get the response of God to our presence in history.”
“We've got to move from membership to discipleship to being full-time Christians, not part-time saints. That means operating comprehensively on the value system of Heaven as we move about in history.”
“Watches have watch makers, paintings have painters, designs have designers, and creation has a creator,”
“In order to impact our society, we need to first model unity in the church.”
“America was never officially a Christian nation, since neither Jesus Christ nor the Bible are mentioned in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. But there's no denying the influence Christianity has had on our country.”
“As God is continually being marginalized and dismissed in the culture, you will continue to see evil proliferate.”
“In the urban community, the church doesn't just take people to Heaven; it feeds, clothes, and houses them. It teaches them how to read and gets them jobs. The church should be doing all that. What the government should be doing is freeing up the church and supporting the church, as long as it is providing social services.”
“If there is one thing you can count on in your life, it's that your path will not always be easy.”
“If the church adopts a school, and the school has kids, and the kids have parents, well, then you've reconnected the hub of a community, because you've brought together its three most fundamental institutions - church, schools, and family.”
“Our God is a great coach, and he's got a great playbook.”
