If there is no hurt, if there is no challenge, if there is no enlargement, there will not be any glory and there will be no fulfillment . We live in a day when the church is seeking fulfillment. We try to get people to feel all right. We're convinced that it is a sad thing if somebody's got a poor self-image. You know, it's not in what we think about ourselves .
Frustration is the state of the world.
Frustration is the state of the church. And we have all these people who are waiting when they are young, waiting and twiddling their fingers and their thumbs. And when they are older, looking back to what could have been but never was. And you've got to face it that in over ninety percent of the young people it never will be. And ninety to ninety-nine percent of the Christians never live to see their dream, but not because God doesn't want to do it.
