“Success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection.”
― Kevin Johnson, Motivational Stories: Inspirational Stories of Determination, Perseverance and Success

“The modern church by and large is focused on self. We see a proliferation of self-help, self-improvement, and generally self-centered books lining the shelves of Christian book stores, and climbing to the top of best-seller lists. Many Pastors have become little more than “life coaches” and motivational speakers. We see men of God who at one time thundered out calls to repentance and holy living, now proclaiming that their people have a “champion” inside them. We see shepherds who should be feeding the sheep, now having to entertain the goats. There has been without a doubt, a shift from the Church at Philadelphia to the Church at Laodicea.”

“At times, life will give you one failure after another, one disappointment more than you can take, or a challenge that is too much to bear.”

“False brethren don't show up at your church to be helped, they come to devour the flock. They are wolves. Wolves like to feed on lambs. You don't negotiate with a wolf. You don't counsel a wolf. You don't pray with a wolf. Read this carefully, the only thing you can do with a wolf is take them out, drive them out, and drive them away from your flock! This is what the leadership at Ephesus did, and Jesus commended them for it.”

“If these would be “Apostles” didn't pass the doctrine and the behavior test, they were proven to be liars. How different it is today when there seems to be a proliferation of so-called apostles coming into many churches demanding authority and notoriety. The vast majority of the churches these individuals are found in aren't putting them to the test, rather they are putting them on Christian television and on the covers of popular Christian periodicals. Were they put to the test that the church in Ephesus used, they would be exposed for the phonies most of them are.”

“Make no mistake Pastor, if the Holy Spirit is moving powerfully in your church, souls are being saved, and believers are being equipped for the work of the ministry, the devil will send false brethren, people who pretend to be that which they are not, to stir up trouble with the intent to thwart that which the Lord is doing in your church.”

“Another doctrine that might have been profitable to consider at this conference is the New Birth. To say that Constantine was “hazy” on what it meant to truly be a Christian would be a gross understatement. Even though he professed to be a Christian, he deferred his baptism until just before the day of his death under the delusion that the waters of baptism purged the sins of the soul. Apparently he wanted to have his sins all in before receiving baptism.     The reign of Constantine did more to damage and destroy the Christian Church from within than any persecution ever did from without.”

“1:1–2 I would rather search your Word day and night than indulge evil opinions or sinful paths or mocking crowds. Lift me to your place of blessing.”

“Admittedly, Oprah did fall into some abusive relationships, took prohibited drugs and had her time with promiscuity. These were mistakes she made but, eventually, she got out of all of them.  She did not dwell on these circumstances, nor did she let these challenges dictate the direction of her life. Oprah Winfrey chose to be who she is now and her personal choice to get out of the rut rewarded her immensely.”

“The mainline Churches, really the Christian Church in general, needs a new Reformation. We need an awakening. We need a fresh visitation of the Holy Spirit. The mainline Churches must return to the preaching of the Cross and the centrality of Christ, or the little bit that is left will die too.”

“It is high time Pastors to “awake out of sleep.” Stop entertaining the goats and begin to again feed the sheep. I believe that every minister of the gospel whom God has called in these crucial and strategic last of the Last Days is called to be a “watchman”, just like the Lord called Ezekiel to be to the Nation of Israel. To Ezekiel the Lord said, Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: [Ezek. 3:17] That is our call preachers. You are not at that place where the Lord placed you to be your people's buddy, their errand boy, their sounding board, or their punching bag. You are called by God and anointed with the Holy Spirit to be a “watchman.” We must wake up and watch out!”
