“I have had the privilege of preaching the Gospel on every continent in most of the countries of the world, and I have found that when I present the simple message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with authority, quoting from the very Word of God—He takes that message and drives it supernaturally into the human heart.”

and passionately dedicated to the God they trusted, and for whom they would willingly have died.”

“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”
