"Being a pastor means you're a truth teller. That means you're truth teller when it comes to the Bible. That means you protect your people from deception that comes from the world. That's part of being a shepherd."
- John MacArthur
Faith
"When a pastor steals or over-borrows someone else's work, that pastor is not only playing a role like an actor but isn't a true messenger from the Lord."
- John MacArthur
Faith
"The relentless study of the Word of God is how God sanctifies and protects the pastor. When you're just opening your iPad and reading somebody else's sermon, you've never been exposed to the sanctifying work of the Word."
- John MacArthur
Faith
"The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the single greatest event in the history of the world. It is so foundational to Christianity that no one who denies it can be a true Christian...A person who believes in a Christ who was not raised believes in a powerless Christ, a dead Christ. If Christ did not rise from the dead, then no redemption was accomplished at the cross and “your faith is worthless,” Paul goes on to say; “you are still in your sins”."
- John MacArthur
Faith
"If Christ was not raised, His death was in vain, your faith in Him would be pointless and your sins would still be counted against you with no hope of spiritual life."
- John MacArthur
Faith
"We have raised the bar. … But that doesn’t raise it just for the youth. That raises it for the parents, who have the primary responsibility for teaching their children principles. That raises it for the leaders. That raises it for the teachers. We’ve all got to take a step up in a world that is unraveling as fast as this one is."
- President M. Russell Ballard
Responsibility
"Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. People can’t stop you. Only you can stop you."
- Unknown
Responsibility
"Life comes at a cost. Wouldn’t it be arrogant to die before you’ve repaid that debt?"
- Yuuji Kazami
Responsibility
"You can’t win a game by doing nothing. And if someone else wins it for you then you haven’t accomplished anything. Life is the same way."
- Junichirou Kagami

"Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."
