Character & Greatness

Here are a couple more quotes from Rev. Quesenberry:

"Character is forged in ordinary life and showcased in extraordinary events...and always in that order."

"Greatness is borne out of a commitment to excellence in the mundane and undesirable assignments of life."

Mid-Winter Revivial Services

This week GBS is in mid-winter revival with Rev. Duane Quesenberry who has been delivering powerful messages. In the morning services, yesterday and today, he's been speaking on Joseph's life from Genesis chapter 37. A few quotes from his message:

"Dreams without discipline inevitably turn into nightmares"

"Discipline without dreams makes for a long life of insomnia"

"Every dream life is preceded by the preparation of discipline"

Revival Services

The school year at GBS started with a series of revival services. The speaker was Rev. John Parker who so powerfully delivered relevant messages from God's Word. One evening the school's president, Dr. Avery, opened the service with an admonition which spoke to me poignantly:

"Let's enter this service with our hearts on tip-toe"

To my mind, it painted a picture of someone expectantly stretching in order to see more clearly. Certainly, God's presence was felt in the services and the expectations of the heart were not disappointed.
