“No one seems to criticize the pastoral functions of baptizing or marrying, but warning against carnality and exposing lukewarmness are not readily received!”
― Frank Damazio, Life-Changing Leadership: Identifying and Developing Your Team's Full Potential

“Here’s the bottom line: We can pay now or we can pay later. It’s our choice. You can pay the price now to deal with attitudes and roots in your life that are anything but Christ-like. (That price is often self-denial rather than self-indulgence.) Or you can decide to run the race carrying the cumbersome weights of sin and self as you chase ministry opportunities that seem too good to pass up. The cost of taking the time to prepare yourself for the higher calling may seem too much to bear. Impatience clouds the realities of readiness. But I guarantee this: If you put off reconciling your character debts today you’ll pay the piper with compounded interest later.”
― Jennifer LeClaire, The Heart of the Prophetic

“Likewise, controversy helps to bring purity by removing the cowards. The Lord listed cowards along with unbelievers, the abominable, murderers, the immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and liars who will have their part in the lake of fire (see Revelation 21:8). Cowardice has no place in the kingdom of God, for true faith is characterized by courage.”
― Rick Joyner, The Prophetic Ministry

“James 1:22-23 - Faith without works is dead and so is teaching without application.”
