“Oh, brother, let us return to pioneers days and ways, and go to places where they do not want us, and stay until they think they cannot get along without us, and plant things for God. There is plenty of room ‘out under the stars’. Do not wait for a call, God gave you that. ” - C. B. Jernigan

There is power in a single seed… “Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop— a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ” -Matthew 13: 8

There is power in a single seed… “The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt. ”

“…as every seed has the full potential for a tree and the tree the full potential of the forest, so too every church (indeed every believer) has the full potential of a movement in it. ”

"The preachers who succeed in Kansas and Oklahoma are men who take the bull by the horns, break his neck, skin him, make a tent of his hide, and peddle the meat for a living while they preach holiness. Come on over and I will show you the pasture where the bull runs. "
