“Make use of this tool of communication by which God speaks to us—namely, the Bible! Read it, study it, memorize it. It will change your entire life. It is not like any other book. It is a “living” book that works its way into your heart, mind, and soul.”

“He who is called to and set apart for the work of an evangelist is to devote his time and effort single-mindedly to this God-given task.

Only the clear leading of God will cause him to change his ministry.”
