• I always compare young missioners to the kids who naively signed up to go to Iraq to fight terrorism. They are just the foot soldiers in the spiritual war that Mike Bickle and Lou Engle are waging against what they consider sin.

• The Deceiver can magnify a little sin for the purpose of causing one to worry, torture, and kill oneself with it.

• Each person we meet on a daily basis who does not know Christ is hell-bound. That may make some folks bristle-but it's a fact.
