THE UPPER ROOMS

Life is lived in a series of rooms.

I chose the name “The Upper Rooms” simply because most of my ministerial life has taken place on the top floors of the buildings that I have served in. In-fact, I am currently writing this very bio on the 4th floor of the church that I am serving in now.

Quote Corner

Paul Washer

“Why would we want fame, when God promises us glory? Why would we be seeking the wealth of the world when the wealth of heaven is ours? Why would we run for a crown that will perish with time, when we’re called to win a crown that is imperishable?”

“Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy. Poverty of spirit is a wonderful thing.”

“I used to tell young preachers, in order to preach you’ve got to have the power of God on your life. Now I tell them, in order to tie your shoes you’ve got to have the power of God on your life.”

“Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. Do not throw away the precious moments of your life on entertainment, movies, and video games. Though some of these things can properly have a ‘small place’ in the Christian’s life, we must be careful not to give undue attention to temporal and fruitless activities. Do not waste your life. Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.”

“God does not call men to make Jesus Lord (as though they had such power), but to live in absolute submission to the Lord He has made.”

Pau

Bible Verses

“The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.”

“Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.”

“What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.”
