“What are you concerned about as you look over the past 60 years of ministry?
The drift of our culture. And the impact it has on young minds before they even have a chance to get on their own two feet. The culture is already doing a number on them.
They can handle a phone better than they can find their way through a verse of scripture. They don't even talk. They punch letters and they call that friends.
That's not a friend.
Friend is one that you bleed together, you feel together, you enter into life together, you care together. As a result, you deepen together. See, I don't think we need richer people today or brighter people today.

And even though you may feel dreadful right now, or you may have done something you wish you would not have done, don't we all, just be careful that you don't condemn yourself.
He doesn't condemn us. He may discipline us. He may, and certainly does, correct us.
But there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. He doesn't condemn. We condemn ourselves.
It's one of the most life-changing moments of my life. I will never forget it. And it was three years that we ran, but that day...”
