I believe one of the next great moves of God is going to be through the believers in the workplace.
Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don’t complain.
The only place we can find a clear, unmistakable message is in the Word of God, which we call the Bible.
If people are kicking you in the behind, at least you’re in front of them.
Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.
The foundations of civilization are no stronger and no more enduring than the corporate integrity of the homes on which they rest. If the home deteriorates, civilization will crumble and fall.
Some of the greatest values that have influenced me through the years are those that I learned as a boy growing up on the farm. I remember mostly the love in our family, but I also remember the discipline. Then there was the work; we all had to work.
I never imagined anybody would ever come out to hear me preach. I’m just a country dairy farmer from North Carolina.
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 know God is in charge. Not me, I’m nothing. I wouldn’t be anything except for the power of the spirit of God.
I received Christ into my heart and my life began to change. But it was a gradual change. And I didn’t see any flashing bulbs. I didn’t hear any thunder. There was no great emotional experience. It was just saying: Yes, Lord Jesus, I want you to be the lord of my life.
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.
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 will never do anything in my entire life except preach the Gospel.
I’m glad to know that we do have political leaders that believe in God, and that has been true from the days of George Washington.
I think we should love sinners, and welcome them, and open our arms to them, and then we don’t totally accept them into our fellowship as believers and as Christians until they have repented their sins and changed their way of living.
I have never targeted Muslims. I have never targeted Jews. I believe that we should declare the fact that God loves you, God’s willing to forgive you, God can change you, and Christ and his kingdom is open to anybody who repents and by faith receives him as lord and savior.
I have many friends that don’t claim to be followers of Christ. As far as day-to-day friendship and being together at various functions, I don’t think that there should be any difference at all.
I remember the first sermon I ever preached. I had four sermons. I preached them, all four in ten minutes. And that was the beginning, in a place called Bostwick, Florida, in northern Florida, in a little tiny church, and on a cold night, about 40 people. And I was so nervous.
I think that I failed by not studying more, and praying more, and spending more time with my family.
I’m the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour.
