### Quotes for Outreach
1. "You can't grow if you're not willing to change. Isn't that true? You can't grow if you're not willing to change. Not change the depth of your belief in the Word of God. But gosh, I can't tell you how many things I deeply thought was right or wrong. And now 20 years later, I'm laughing at myself. My convictions are deeper than ever. But certain things that I made a big deal over the Lord was saying. I'm glad that bothers you, didn't bother me." [22:06]
2. "If you haven't found yourself saying to the Lord, I repent for that thought or that attitude or that lack of priority, if you haven't thought any of those things in the last couple of weeks, you're certainly more godly than me. See, when you're really, well, let me just tell you this, I love my two sons, my husbands, in heaven, which is a rip-off. He's watching, probably, from heaven and I. Now you go, I don't know if that scripture, I'm not sure I do either, but don't ruin my fun." [30:01]
3. "When David was talking about his sin and he said in the Psalms, how does a young man cleanse his way? And listen to what it says by taking heed according to his Word. Cleansing comes from the Word of God. And let me challenge you when you read it. Don't let the devil make a fool out of you thinking that unless you're feeling some emotional connection, it's not doing anything. God's Word is much bigger than your feelings." [40:48]
4. "Faith for me is defined by my commitment to believe the Word of God and to trust God's character even when I don't understand my circumstances. If you have to understand everything that happens and this side of heaven, you'll be bitter and cynical. You may make it to heaven, but you're not living on my street. I'm hanging out with fun people." [01:22:33]
5. "The fire of the Holy Spirit is that red hot commitment inside of you. I'm yours, Jesus. I'm yours. I'm all the way in. I'm all the way in." [01:32:33]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Peter Horn, as a believer, understood something that all of us have to be reminded. Sometimes when somebody has deeply wounded us or hurt us, though it kills our flesh, we have to choose to plant some good seed in their life. Even if for a period some of our own heart acreage may still be very painful. Do you hear that? So when it says there that very first step is curing softening of even the hard places. Oh, girls, this process is not a one-time deal." [37:35]
2. "The drying test will check whether or not the wine skin is really usable. Is there any crack? Any holes? Is it shrinking back now? And when I talk about the drying process, you don't have to think hard. What is that for me anyway? And I suggest many of us in our lives, I think this is the wilderness experience. Or what many of the early church fathers called the darkness of God or the desert times. The no-feeling moments. The moments that we say, God, where are you?" [01:19:52]
3. "Sanctification is every day, every moment of your life, where little by little you're becoming, as you keep yourself in the Word, and in prayer, and you try as best you can with all your humanists, to be obedient, you're becoming a little bit more like Jesus. Jesus was skin on, I call it. And so that sanctifying process, boy, such a big deal. Let me just stop for a minute and say to you, the Bible says, present yourselves a living sacrifice, wholly and acceptable, which is only your reasonable service." [49:43]
4. "If you haven't found yourself saying to the Lord, I repent for that thought or that attitude or that lack of priority, if you haven't thought any of those things in the last couple of weeks, you're certainly more godly than me. See, when you're really, well, let me just tell you this, I love my two sons, my husbands, in heaven, which is a rip-off. He's watching, probably, from heaven and I. Now you go, I don't know if that scripture, I'm not sure I do either, but don't ruin my fun." [30:01]
5. "When you go through tough times, girls, and we all know the line, you either come out bitter or better. You do not come out the same. You do not. And many people in the church world have allowed some of their wounds to become their identity. Please hear that." [01:05:56]
