“God wasn’t petty when He said, do it exactly as you saw it. We must just do exactly what the Bible says and what God has revealed…Every aspect of the Sanctuary had a salvific meaning. To change any aspect may seem innocent and nothing to worry about, but it would easily render useless what God was trying to communicate and make it meaningless. Do it exactly as you saw it!”
“The church programs and projects don’t need the rich, the middle class and the poor. The church needs people who…They were so generous that they gave more than they had ability to give. They gave by themselves without help from outside. They were not helped by their politicians and other wealthy non-believers. Entirely on their own, they supported the church.”
“…For their sake I carry a hard copy Bible whenever possible…Young people may need to accommodate old people and vice versa…As we become a global village and interact with other people, we would be shocked at what they do or not do. We need to be accommodative if we are not sinning.”
“Many are victims of religious extremism because they refuse to question how scripture is interpreted … Our deep seated desperation. Our past traumas. Our hidden desires. All these can make us predisposed to a false interpretation that is consistent with our fears or desires. The false interpretation becomes truly comforting because it meets a hidden defect. That is why we must prayerfully seek guidance by asking for the correct interpretation. Do you understand what you are reading? How do you understand it?”
“Unless we are humble enough to listen, God’s word will be a blessing to others but not to us. Others will be blessed after reading or listening but we go cursed and worse off. Worship will be a place of blessings for others but for us a curse. Are we humble teachable or proud know it all masquerading with a shallow veneer of humility? Who are you really? What are your true colors? What are you made of?”
“An inward drive to achieve a goal is stronger when you keep your plans secret. The moment you announce your plans, the inward drive weakens or even dies. Secret of achievement is to only talk about results and not plans. Keep it silent, secret and private, and excellence will be your portion!”
“Worship organizers should be careful not to make people anxious. Unnecessarily long programs create anxiety. The sick need…Examine yourself and seek divine help. There is a serious spiritual problem if you anxiously want worship to end so that you go back to your business.”
“When we engage in illicit sex in church offices, at worship grounds where a group is boarding for some days, aren’t we sinning at the altar? When we steal church money, aren’t we sinning at the altar? When we plot against each other and execute it during church events, aren’t we sinning at the altar?”
“From lonely to seeing someone…From staying with parents and guardians to my first own house, however small…From jobless to employed, a milestone. From one rank at work to another, a milestone…Traveling abroad is a milestone. Starting a business is a milestone. Birthdays are milestones. Anniversary is a milestone. God wants to be involved in every milestone in our lives. Milestones without God offends God.”
