If you don’t give and serve and sweat blood for the mission, instead of criticizing the way things are we want you to just shut up.

My children are children, not superheros. They will make mistakes so they can learn from them just like any other child on the planet. They aren’t born perfect, just saved by the only One who is (THANKFULLY!).

I expect every mature believer in the church to behave like Jesus Christ—always.

PLEASE, respect my day off. It may not be politically correct to say so, but we do get tired of meeting the needs of people constantly.

People complain to me about other areas of ministry, and even if I handle this well and direct them to the appropriate staff member, it still creates a burden for me to carry.

I love what I get to do. When I see people submit their lives to Christ and start living out the mission of the church it’s just an incredible thing.

A call to ministry shouldn’t necessarily be equated with a call to poverty.

I am called to be a husband and a father as well as a minister. My family needs a preacher too sometimes.

We work hard all week, not just Sundays.
