The greatest of a mans power is the measure of his surrender. - William Booth 1829-1912

But t Ki r li t Ar unah, No, I insist on aying for it. I ill not sacrifice to the Lor y God urnt offerings that ill not cost e nothing. - Samuel :

The Church is the Pillar and the ground of TRUTH. he is not a social organization or institution, not a political society, not a cultural society but pillar and the ground of the truth.

To me the work of preaching is the highest and the greatest and the most glorious calling to which anyone ever be called. In the epistle, postle Paul reminder to Timothy.

The one indispensible condition of our usefulness and success in the work of the ministry is that we should be good men men of pure and holy life men of od. We may not be good minister without being a good man The effect of our words on the abbath will really depend on our lives during the week, for it is the man behind the speech that wields the power JD Jones

The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of your life if you allow Jesus to satisfy every area of your life to its depth.

The process of speaking exactly 150 words per minute does not happen overnight. It is something that we as speakers must work on constantly. Because we normally speak slowly and deliberately, or speak too fast and inaudibly. The problem is that we often cope with nervousness in public speaking by speaking slow to avoid mistakes but put people to sleep. Or speak very fast to keep listeners from detecting our mistakes. We often do this also to finish our speaking part as quickly as possible. Clearly most people make a habit of hiding their fear by altering their rate of speech. It would be so much better for everyone to speak at 150 words per minute or at a rate that ensures understandability and vitality. fter all, what we really want is the ability to communicate not so that but so that we are not misunderstood.
