What you build with your mortal hands, in the name of Jesus, means you build his eternal kingdom. And my mortal lips preach the eternal gospel. That is the highest form of life.
I want to challenge all of you. Dedicate yourself to Jesus, totally, completely, radically. And if you do it, he will make you.
He says, I will make you. It's not a university that will make you. It's not a theology that will make you.
