"True gospel exposition is not less than an intellectual endeavour, but it is much more. Its goal is that the mind might be engaged in great thoughts of God, the heart inflamed with the love of God, the body animated in service to God & the lips consecrated in praise of God."- Paul David Washer - Heartcry Missionary Society
This depravity, or godlessness, is the root cause
of America's moral decline. We grasp for what
feels good instead of what is good.
--David Jeremiah (1941- )
