The Bible says that in the last days, there will be people in our churches who are not true believers, among other things. Because of watered-down messages and compromise, people will feel comfortable in certain churches because they are never confronted with their sin. I believe my job as a pastor is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.

The pulpit is not a place to settle scores, it’s a place to preach the word of God.

When you see that sunset or that panoramic view of God's finest expressed in nature, and the beauty just takes your breath away, remember it is just a glimpse of the real thing that awaits you in heaven.

Loving God more than anyone or anything else is the very foundation of being a disciple. If you want to live your Christian life to its fullest, then love Jesus more than anyone or anything else.

Every Christian is called to preach the gospel. We need to take the commission seriously.

The gospel is only good news if it gets there on time. I think if we don't deliver this message, it's negligence of the highest order.

My objective is to build a bridge to a person, to establish a dialogue.

I think there is always new people that have never heard the gospel before that need to have it because the gospel - which is the death, resurrection of Christ and the message of his forgiveness - is the only hope for a person knowing that they will go to Heaven and then finding the meaning and purpose they search for in life.

Earth is only a pale version of heaven, not the other way around.

We are supposed to share the gospel. So, I believe it can actually be a sinful thing to not do it.

We also need to recognize that God may have other plans in store for us, and we must be willing to accept that.

It seems like things are upside down [in America] as we see right declared as wrong, and wrong as right. God is not pointing His finger at the Supreme Court, or the White House, or the Capitol. If you are a Christian, He is looking at you and at me to humble ourselves, pray, and seek God's face. He expects us to take action.

What we now consider to be radical behavior was to early believers nothing more than a sincere attempt to live obediently.

To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed.

I don't think we have to impose or pressure in anyway but I do think we have to engage people and try to help them to understand what the gospel even is.
