"God wants to use you right where you are. Every day you probably come in contact with people who will never enter a church, or talk with a pastor, or open a Bible- and God wants to use you to point them to Christ. You may be the “bridge” God would use to bring them to Himself."

The race problem could become another flame out of control!"

Whatever period of history we study, whatever culture we examine, if we look back in time we see all peoples, primitive or modern, acknowledging some kind of deity.

Is there a God who cares? If there is a God, has He revealed Himself to man?"
"A false religion is like the imitation of high fashion. The very presence of counterfeits proves the existence of the real. There would be no imitations without a genuine product. God's original design has always had imitators and counterfeits!"
"In this age of humanism, man is seduced by society with the lie that he can become his own god . . . the New Age movement is polluted with self and it will never bow before God-at least not until Christ returns."
