“The men upon whose shoulders rested the initial responsibility of Christianizing the world came to Jesus with one supreme request. They did not say, “Lord, teach us to preach”; “Lord, teach us to do miracles”; or “Lord, teach us to be wise” . . . but they said, “Lord, teach us to pray.”

“We get angry when others hurt us, both by what they say and what they do. We get angry when we don’t get our own way or our plans and dreams are frustrated. Anger may arise in an instant, erupting like a volcano and raining destruction on everyone in sight. Often, anger simmers just below the surface, sometimes for a lifetime. Like a corrosive acid, this kind of anger eats away at our bodies and souls, yet we may not even be aware of its presence.”

“Come back to the Bible. Begin to read it. Study it and God will speak to you and change you—and through you perhaps history can be changed.”

“It could be said that going to church will not make one a Christian. But . . . refusing to fellowship with believers will not make you one either.”
