ESCHATOLOGY
“Any theology that does not live with a sense of the immediate return of Christ is a theology that takes the edge off of the urgency of faith. But any theology that does not cause us to live as though the world will be here for thousands of years is a theology that leads us into social irresponsibility.”
- Tony Campolo

COURAGE
“Courage is being scared to death – and saddling up anyway.”
- John Wayne

EXCUSES
“The search for a scapegoat is the easiest of all hunting expeditions.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

PURPOSE
“The times are very bad. Very well, you are there to make them better.”
- Thomas Carlyle

PRAYER
“The petitions of Moses discomfited the enemy more than the fighting of Joshua. Yet both were needed. No, in the soul's conflict, force and fervor, decision and devotion, valour and vehemence, must join their forces, and all will be well.”
- Charles H. Spurgeon
