"God uses the passing of months and years to rest a man and to sanctify him."

Getting the gospel right and keeping it right is the key to getting life right. Pastors protect people by proclaiming and preserving the gospel. They make sure the gospel is never assumed.

"Choose a woman who loves God, loves the gospel, and loves the church. A lady like that will follow a man like you, even to the ends of the earth."

"The life you live in public determines the ministry you can have in public."

"the man called to ministry is not some kind of super-Christian who lives by a higher code. nope he's just a called man with gifts that enable him to lead God's people and with a grace that empowers him to be an example."
