"God will seek us -- how long? Until he finds us. And when he's found the last little shriveling rebellious soul and has depopulated hell, then death will be swallowed up in victory, and Christ will turn over all things to the Father that he may be all and in all. Then every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

-- Clarence Jordan

I felt that it was manipulative and the audience was looking at something that had no responsibility to the family.”
“Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.”
“Sometimes it feels like energy or electricity when it is moving in and through us, but spiritual power is really a distinctive kind of knowledge that is like the key that opens the door or the switch that starts the energy moving.”
“Everyone wants to get a piece of me.”
“The secret to freedom is to realize that you donâ€™t have to believe your mind. You donâ€™t have to believe your story. You donâ€™t have to believe that voice in your head. You donâ€™t have to believe your own thinking. You can simply observe it and say, â€œThank you for sharing,â€ and then take the necessary action youâ€™re scared to take anyway.”
