When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still, If a man has got the Word, he must speak or die.

The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.
