“So if you believe that if you overcome sin first, then you will have this relationship with Jesus ... you have it backwards. We come to Jesus just as we are -- sin, character flaws and all. It is the relationship with Jesus that overcomes the sin -- not the overcoming of sin that allows the relationship.”

“I joked that the reason I didn’t go to church was for other people’s protection. That if I even entered a church we might risk being hit by lightning… Now look where I am…standing at a pulpit. You folks in the first few rows may want to say an extra prayer or two.”
Gary Mitchell
“I found myself many times thinking about how far I had strayed from God, but was so ashamed at the things that I had been and still was involved in that I was unable and felt unworthy to come before God in repentance and prayer, because of how ashamed I was, but God always kept me safe and thru his grace and mercy out of trouble.”
