"I’ve never seen such a hunger in people for spiritual things . . .People realize the past is gone, the future is uncertain, and the present seems to be hopeless. As a result, many [in Moscow] were open to God."

"Part of our problem with debt is that we have confused needs with wants. Yesterday’s luxuries are today’s necessities."

"When I quote Scripture, I know I am quoting the very Word of God."

"Jesus demonstrated the importance of prayer by His own example. His whole ministry was saturated with prayer."

"A born-again Christian should no more think of going back to the old life than an adult to his childhood."

"God’s Word is not a book of human ideas . . . It is given to us by [God] to teach us how to live."

"If we are living according to what we believe, we may be falsely accused."
