• Comment to those looking at my sermons: Todays sermons are far different than when I first began in 1963. I have more of life lessons to share in growth situations. Todays sermons are for today and tomorrows generations. They are more powerful and moving than even 10 years ago.

• One of my favorite illustrations: An evangelist was at his own church for Sunday Morning service. After dinner he fell asleep and dreamt that he had died and his 4 year old died with him. He was in heaven when the crowd split and he stood face to face with his Saviour. Jesus said to him-Look around and tell me what you see. The evangelist could only see people everywhere. Jesus said -I need one son to die for all of the people. The evangelist woke up and realized how much God really did love him.

• Best advice given to me about preaching: Dig your wells deep. Study hard. Spend one hour of study for every minute you spend in preaching. Fast and pray. Preach with convictions and paint word pictures. Preach the truch in love. Be instructive, educational, spiritual and always point the way to Christ. Tell it like it is but always with love.

• Something funny that happened while preaching: I broke my tail bone off. It had to be removed three weeks before this past Easter 2010. I was not in the pulpit until Easter so that the wound could heal. In the great Easter morning service, I was sweating. It was pouring out of me as I proclaimed the Easter story and meaning. The church was packed. My sermon was prepared and delivered. I had 7 more minutes to go. The sweat was pouring down my legs. I stepped back from the pulpit to find blood all over the floor. I stopped! More.
• What I want on my tombstone: He did what God wanted Him to do with lots of Love
