“In our pilgrimage on this earthwe sometimes fail to seeall who the Lord touches through usin simple words and deeds.”

“Sometimes, on our way through the world, we meet someone who touches our heart in a way others don't.”

“There is a time for faith, Bishop, and a time for action. It would be a foolish man who stood on a battlefield and faced an army with a Bible in his hands. We are here to do the bidding of our Lord Almighty, but it is through deeds, as well as piety, that we serve Him.”

“If our words are not consistent with our actions, they will never be heard above the thunder of our deeds.”

“Our forefathers’ deeds touch us, shape us, like strokes of a painting. In endless procession their deeds mark us. The Elders speak knowingly of forever.”

“May we declare ourselves to be more fully disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, not in word only and not only in the flush of comfortable times but in deed and in courage and in faith, including when the path is lonely and when our cross is difficult to bear.”
