However, when you know that you’ve failed what you do need is for the Holy Spirit to convict you of your righteousness."
"So many Christians seek to live the pain-free Christian life. Such a life has no impact."
"I'm a committed Christian. I worship in my own way. That's my business. That's not the business of the pharisees who are going to preach to me about what I do and then do something else."

"We live in an age in which only one prejudice is tolerated - anti-Christian bigotry... Today, the only group you can hold up to public mockery is Christians. Attacks on the Church and Christianity are common."
"He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only."
