“This battle that rages around us is not going to get any easier. It’s not going to just go away. And even if every single man of God were to step up into their roles, fully becoming all that God has called them to be, it would still not be enough because it’s only half of the church.”

“The true sickness in a man’s heart is pride. Pride justifies wrongdoing and conceals the truth . . . even from a man’s own self. Every person is a leper on the inside, Peniel. That is the condition of each soul trying to live outside God’s sovereignty and purpose. What you see on the outside of the people of Mak’ob is an image of what’s inside everyone.”

“When I’m called on to serve, I do it without regard to myself, and I try to do it with honor. Fear never enters my mind because I have the courage to face any adversary. It’s a mindset that few people understand.”

“While some farmers have attempted to make farming a predictable science, it is not. Never will be. You can beg, cuss, dance, even manipulate conditions, but she will grow, blossom, and produce only when she’s ready. Nothing short of the hand of God can change that.”
