"I believe fully that the Scriptures are about Jesus Christ, both Older and Newer Testaments and that a good teacher makes use of all aspects of learning styles and attempts to touch the greatest and most powerful of human emotions without manipulation, yet while making use of humor, candor, and awe. My favorite Scripture text is John 14:2 and my favorite Newer Testament book of the Bible is the Gospel of John and my favorite Older Testament book is Jeremiah."
I love the quotation by Saint Augustine: You have made us and drawn us to Yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.
