If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.

There’s a part of you – the born-again part, your spirit – that’s dead to sin. That’s why it bothers you now when you sin. The ‚wilderness‘ part of you – your soul – is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

There is no man on Earth or devil in Hell who can keep you from the very best God put in you.

I say that in the most humble way: I always knew that I could perform with the best of ‚em and I could deliver with the best of ‚em.
