When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it's done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human.

I've been known to preach.

Preaching is the most original thing I've ever done. There's nothing familiar about it. You have to be brave.

Preaching don't mean you are a true man. You got to go out and do.

After 26 years, I am still practicing what I preach.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

While life lasts, I am an evangelist.

I realized that every sermon I preached should be designed not to 'teach' or 'convert' people, but rather to encourage them, to give them a lift. I decided to adopt the spirit, style, strategy and substance of a 'therapist' in the pulpit.

I've never done anything else in my life other than preach and be an activist. Way before I was known.
