Congregations shaped by the Scriptures generally have preachers who are shaped by the Scriptures.

My favorite preacher is not with me anymore, and that's my father.

In fact, my parents were church people; my father was a deacon in the church.

We're all put on this earth to walk in His image, the Master.

The Scriptures are the truth from God.

God spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.

Were it not for the influence of the Spirit of Christ in this world, we would see much more calamity, violence, natural catastrophes, war, and crime.

The hero's journey always begins with the call. One way or another, a guide must come to say, 'Look, you're in Sleepy Land. Wake. Come on a trip. There is a whole aspect of your consciousness, your being, that's not been touched. So you're at home here? Well, there's not enough of you there.' And so it starts.

I'm a reverend and a pastor. A pastor of the church. I go by usually pastor.

I take my role seriously as a pastor.

The minute the church and pastors start saying what do people want and then giving it to them, we betray our calling. We're called to have people follow Jesus. We're called to have people learn how to forgive their enemies.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, is our perfect example of patience.
