"There are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ."
"We have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law."

"We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?"
"Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day."
"Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys."
"Don't let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door - if we seek it."
"God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice."
