You do not exist to be the zoo keeper of everyone else's monkeys.

A wise man need not see the fruit; show him the seed.

Only a fool thinks he's the smartest person in the room.

Righteous people do not become so quickly, and their righteousness does not fade quickly. Either way, it happens one decision at a time.

God uses people of courage. They have fears similar to others, but choose to override fear with real faith in a real God. They choose to know Him, learn from Him, and choose to walk in His ways. They replace the fear of man with the fear of the Lord. They choose liberty over security. They choose life.

The fear of God leads to wisdom and eternal life. The fear of man leads to no good thing.

If the love of money is the root of all evil, then the fear of money must be its evil twin.

If one is set on doing God's will the condition and length of the road, the effort and the time have no import. If they do, the person is not resigned, they're negotiating.

If a person doesn't know the difference between discernment and judgement they should refrain from either.

People that criticize those that expose evil are the same ones that look for someone to blame when evil is on their doorstep.

Trying to understand God intellectually is like trying to understand calculus emotionally.

It's not what you're learning, it's who you're becoming.

People are like trees on the ocean coastline. They are wind blown, leaning a bit, kind of straggly, but still standing, facing whatever the day brings, every day.

If I pursue the things that matter to God I lack no good thing in either my relationship with Him or in my physical needs.

Watching a political debate is like watching paint dry... except paint dries.

When you ask a man to compromise his principles you've asked too much.

Instant news is like MS software... the first version is not reliable.

Life is a marathon... not a sprint.

I love winning and I detest losing, but have learned that both are an integral part of life.

Me thinks desperation is not becoming.

There are three people the world doesn't know what to do with: quietly confident people, outspoken humble people, and those who are not afraid to die.

Ministry is inconvenient.
