In the Bible, ordination – I don’t see that in the Scripture. In the Bible, it’s whether you’re filled with the Holy Spirit, whether you’re anointed by God, whether you’re called by God, whether you’re obedient to Him. I want to be those things, but I don’t see any purpose for me in being ordained.

When I was a teenager, I was trying to please people. I kept changing who I was to please the people I was with. And so once I just decided I wasn’t going to do that anymore. I was going to live my life to please God. And so from that day to this, that’s been my aim. Some people don’t understand, but you can’t please everybody anyway.

Abraham is such a fascinating figure. Three world religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – all claim him as a patriarch. He was raised in a religious home. And yet he rejected religion in order to pursue a personal relationship with God.

Prayer is hard work. We may neglect it because we’re too tired, too busy, or too distracted to put into prayer the effort required.
