#preacher

If I woke up one morning and realized that all I ever was going to be was a business man, I'd probably die. All my dreams would be shattered. Early in life I had many dreams. I dreamed of being a great basketball star. I dreamed of being a preacher. I dreamed of saving the world from war and racism. And I dreamed of being a great poet. Today, I dream only of writing. ↗

Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money. ↗

Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God. ↗
