  • One of my favorite illustrations: Did you hear about the preacher that was just getting started and asked a more experienced preacher for some advice. He advised, "Start with something that will really get their attention. Like this, ’Some of the best years of my life were spent in the arms of another man’s wife. . . My mother.’" The new preacher decided to try it, but he was a bit nervous. "Some of the best years of my life were spent in the arms of another man’s wife. . . But for the life of me I can’t remember who she is."
  • What I want on my tombstone: "A sinner saved by grace."
