What They Said

"The glory of God transcends all creaturely glory.  Indeed what glory may be found in this world is borrowed or derived from the Creators hand."

"There is nothing easy about becoming holy.  Yet the Bible does make it easy for us to know what holiness is supposed to look like.  The fruits of the Spirit -- that is where our focus  must be."

"True transformation comes by gaining a new understanding of God, ourselves, and the world.  What we are after ultimately is to be conformed to the image of Christ."

"The saints of Scripture were called saints not because they were already pure but because they were people who were set apart and called to purity."

"The worst sin against stewardship is to waste your life."

"The Gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news."

"We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us."

"We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about."

"Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us. As we engage in this communion with God more deeply and come to know the One with whom we are speaking more intimately, that growing knowledge of God reveals to us all the more brilliantly who we are and our need to change in conformity to Him. Prayer changes us profoundly."

"I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible. Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures."

"The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men."
