“Difficulties and obstacles are God’s challenges to faith. When hindrances confront us in the path of duty, we are to recognize them as vessels for faith to fill with the fullness and all-sufficiency of Jesus.”

Prayer is the link that connects us with God.

This is our high calling, to represent Christ, and act in His behalf, and in His character and spirit, under all circumstances and toward all men.

God is not looking for extraordinary characters as His instruments, but He is looking for humble instruments through whom He can be honored throughout the ages.

Once I tried to use Him, now He uses me.

It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration.

Aggressive Christianity is the world’s greatest need.

Temptation exercises our faith and teaches us to pray.

It is not the part of faith to question, but to obey.

A divided heart loses both worlds.

The Christian is not obedient unless he is doing all in his power to send the Gospel to the heathen world.

When I cannot understand my Father’s leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful-Only wait.

I cannot understand how any man or woman can believe in the Lord’s coming and not be a missionary, or at least committed to the work of missions with every power of his being.

God’s jewels are often sent us in rough packages and by dark liveried servants, but within we find the very treasures of the King’s palace and the Bridegroom’s Love.

You must have faith in God.

One of the special marks of the Holy Ghost in the Apostolic Church was the spirit of boldness.

All earth-born hopes with time must pass away; prayer grasps eternal things; pray, always pray.

I’m not a role model. Just because I dunk a basketball doesn’t mean I should raise your kids.

I don’t believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.

I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz.

I’m not paid to be a role model. I’m paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.

My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.

I want to be the next Gisele Bundchen . Everything she does, who she is, what she’s done, she’s just amazing.

I wish I could play like Roger Federer.

As a kid, even I knew everything about my favourite cricketers. I used to know everything possible. Now I see kids knowing about me. It feels good.
