Don’t stay in the place of temptation. Paul says, “FLEE youthful lusts!” (2 Tim. 2:22). He says, ‘RUN from them!’ There are some things you’re not big enough to handle. Don’t tempt God and don’t tempt your own weakness! Get out of the way!
The first thing that God requires of you is not that you’re a missionary. It’s not that you’re a soul winner. The first thing he requires of you is that you: “love the Lord your God with all your heart” (Matt. 22:37), which means you boot out every other distraction!
I don’t ask people if they’re saved anymore. Who isn’t saved? From the White House to the jail house. I look a person in the eye and say, “Does Christ live in you?”
Someone has pointed out that "I" is the center of S-I-N. It is the medium through which Satan acts. The worst enemy you have to overcome, after all, is yourself.
