Below are some of his inspiring quotations that I pray will both encourage and convict you to walk more closely with the Lord.[1]
“If you are seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. But also expect God to see you through.”
“God’s plans for you are better than any plans you have for yourself. So don’t be afraid of God’s will, even if it’s different from yours.”
“There’s a difference between remorse and repentance. Remorse is being sorry for being caught. Repentance is being sorry enough to stop.”
“The next time the devil tempts you to think that you are not worthy to approach God, here is what I advise: Agree. Say, ‘You are right. I am not worthy to approach God. I never was worthy to approach God. I never will be worthy to approach God. My access to God’s presence is not based on my worthiness, it is based on what Christ did for me on the cross.’”
“You were placed on earth to know God. Everything else is secondary.”
“Prayer is not the answer. God is the answer. Prayer is the vehicle by which we reach God.”
“God is watching us, but He loves us so much that He can’t take His eyes off us. We may lose sight of God, but He never loses sight of us.”
“Heaven is not for good people, it’s for forgiven people.”
“God rewards the person who is diligent. And for those who will take time in their day to seek the Lord, for those who will take time to read His Word, for those who will take time to wait upon Him, He will reveal His truths to them.”
“Either you will have harmony with God and friction with people, or you will have harmony with people and friction with God.”
“When you see that sunset or that panoramic view of God’s finest expressed in nature, and the beauty just takes your breath away, remember it is just a glimpse of the real thing that awaits you in heaven.”
“Any step away from the cross is a step in the wrong direction.”
“Loving God more than anyone or anything else is the very foundation of being a disciple. If you want to live your Christian life to its fullest, then love Jesus more than anyone or anything else.”
“I don’t know when the end of the world is, but there are people that I speak to every night, the end of their world could be tomorrow because we don’t know when life will end.”
