The words of Lieutenant Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:
- The two rivers that Hercules (our Christ) joined to clean the Aegean Stables of the church are the Spirit and the Word
- The Holy Spirit will pursue His children. Or, The Lord will not let go of His elect.
- Loving Jesus means loving His church, even if the church doesn’t love you.
- I am the appendix in the body of Christ. Nobody knows what I’m there for, but as long as I don’t cause any trouble, I can stay.
- It doesn’t matter if no one else is worshiping. Fix your eyes on the stained glass window at the back of the sanctuary, and worship anyway
- Being right is not as important as being obedient. Being right is not as valuable as building the church toward maturity.
- Sometimes it takes the right person to communicate a difficult truth.
- God’s kindness is not the best proof of His love; a lack of happy circumstances do not show a lack of God’s love.
- A single wicked thought is not a sin. We have an enemy who is actively seeking to incite wickedness.
- Incitement to rioting is not an excuse for rioting.
- Sometimes God’s providence is confusing because he needs you at a certain place & time for the sake of someone else.
- Everything stops to correct a bad attitude.
- Parenting is more important than eating, more important than sleep, more important than career, more important than appointments, more important than classes, more important than teams.
- Everything stops for parenting.
- She’s mean to you because she likes you.
- When you leave, it should be normal to hire three people to replace you.
- It doesn’t matter if you are not worthy to worship. He is worthy to be worshiped.
- A little poison in a bad book can ruin a child’s mind. It can only be remedied by a lot of really good books.
- Some things that sound fine in print are too vile to be said out loud.
- The task at hand may not be the test.
- We all sensor. The question is what we sensor.
- All laws legislate morality. You cannot legislate anything else.
- My goodness, what do they teach children in school these days?
- Dance with the grace God has given you.
- Never be afraid to ask the question.
- Stop asking questions. You’re scaring people.
- Always be ready to entertain a good argument.
- Some people cannot understand an argument they don’t already agree with.
- The Bible doesn’t say that; his grandmother says that.
- Prejudice is generational, but it can be corrected.
- Don’t act according to your instincts. Act according to your understanding.
- Anything worth saying is worth repeating.
- Repetition builds retention.
- Ignorance and prejudice are brain damage. They deserve your pity, not your wrath.
- The gospel has two wings: the Spirit and the word.
