"I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."

"Well, is he [bin Laden] the enemy? Next slide. Or is this man [Saddam] the enemy? The enemy is none of these people I have showed you here. The enemy is a spiritual enemy. He’s called the principality of darkness. The enemy is a guy called Satan.”"

"Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. Why is he there? And I tell you this morning that he’s in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this."

"They’re after us because we’re a Christian nation."

"Because some of you already know and are contacting me about it, let me make it official and let you all know that I have been terminated from teaching at Hampden-Sydney College after nine years there. [...] The bottom line is that I oppose these so called “‪#‎Bathroom‬” bills that let men go into women’s locker rooms, showers, and toilets and I have been very public about it."

"Terrorists strike like lightning- hard, fast, and without warning."

"Cecils habit of providing for others wasnt limited to his immediate family. One day he got word his best friend had lost his home in a fire. At that time Cecil was struggling to pay his own bills. But that didnt stop him: he cut corners and scraped together whatever he could. And he gave his friend all the cash he could find. I remember that day- as he handed the cash to his friend- because it looked like so much money to me at the time. I would guess it was no more than a hundred dollars in various denominations of bills, but to an eight-year-old it looked like a fortune. It left a powerful impression on me and just deepened my respect and admiration for him over the years. Throughout my life my father exhibited many examples for me to follow concerning the responsibility a man has to care for those he loves and for those who are in need. My father firmly believed it wasnt the U.S. governments responsibility to take care of his parents, his children, friends, or his neighbors. In fact, in his view, it was his role as an American who loved his country to provide for others as much as possible."

"In every case, heres the challenging bottom line: practicing tough love is- without question- toughest on the man who loves the most."

"A few Christian men Ive met seem to think they are somehow robbed of their manhood if their wife has a job, and its even worse if she has a serious career of her own. Thats a foolish attitude. At the same time, what is even worse is a man whose wife is compelled to work because her husband refused to get a job."

"Talk through options and offer suggestions. Dont ignore an obvious problem in your family life and in your marriage."

"Big talkers have a greater tendency to compromise you than the strong, silent types who arent so eager to transmit the latest insider gossip. You have to think about those characteristics."

"George Bush was not elected by a majority of the voters in the United States, he was appointed by God."
