Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.

We make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

When Christians say God has been talking to them about something, it simply means they have a strong inner conviction or feeling that God has made His will known to them.

Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

When it comes to our everyday habits, it’s important to ask: ‚Am I putting God first?‘

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.
