"We're praying in every blessing. I was sharing with a brother, and I said, now, people don't realize when I'm telling them to serve God, giving him everything, glorifying God, and that way you can pray about everything that goes on in your life. I said, not only do I preach that, I live that. I live that." [00:23:35] (16 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

"And we were literally broke until about 5 o 'clock that Friday when the funds were made available, and I had some money. But up to the very last moment that I didn't have anything.

Then we did the popcorn and cranberries, and we put that around the tree, and we listened to some songs. We had a good time." [00:34:22] (28 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


"People sometimes, and the kids that we were buying, our kids would put these things aside or be excited for just a little while.

"How much do you get on your knees before God? How many times do you come to Bible study and seek the face of God, learn God's word? How many times during the week do you just stop and just spend time in his presence and feeling what God wants you and understanding the direction of God? You see, so many times people are investing in all these different things. My Lord, one good time in God, God can pay all your bills."
