The sad truth is that among today's evangelicals it is not loving and esteeming God but self-love and self-esteem that are presented as the pressing need!

Our love for God and our appreciation of His love and forgiveness will be in proportion to the recognition of our sin and unworthiness.

My dream was to be either a volleyball player or a veterinarian.

I've always gotten along best with artists.

Freedom came in strange forms and from unexpected directions.

Gospel music rhythms are not African in origin, although I know that's what the jazz experts say.

Sometimes the greatest tests of our strength are situations that don't seem so obviously dangerous. Sometimes surviving is the hardest thing of all.
