Tony Evans Quotations

We want to make sure there is integrity in the city,

We're pretty excited. Lakeview has never had two kids in the finals, I don't think.

Mark did exactly what we needed him to do and that was wrestle aggressively and make sure those kids don't think they have a chance. Blake is always a little bit nervous in the first match and we got him through that and he really wrestled well after that.

We know that we're right there and we have a senior class that wants to end on a good note. We want to take care of business and get back to the state tournament.

We can assist with arranging the mortgages, removals and legal aspects concerned with each purchase.

There hasn't been anyone yet that's given him any type of competition - he's dominated everybody. He's always beaten people, but this year's been different. Last year, he'd beat people 6-2 or 6-3, but this year he is trying to pin everybody, put up a lot of points on everybody - being super aggressive.

As one of the poorest cities in America, our hearts are with those people who are without,

They've dominated our conference ever since we've started. I mean, nobody's really even come close to them. They just keep reloading.

It's Mark's tournament to lose, he's the best kid in the weight class by far. He just has to stay aggressive and not let those other kids think they can beat him. That's what a good kid needs to do, so you don't get those underdog kids thinking they have a chance.

The odds on playing in Sioux City right now are probably about 50-50.

Not that I'm not excited for them (Harris and Birmingham), but they've been there before. As a coach, it's great to take a kid that's never been there. It's new for Cullen and we all get to live that excitement of going to your first state tournament all over again through his eyes.

The Kinston factory is our manufacturing hub for dishwashers. The combination of the factory and its background in producing fine dishwashers, and the workforce available there to build this super product, made us decide on Kinston.

I really thought we wrestled better as we went through the day. Overall, I was happy.

Any job that allows me to use my pure water cleaning system and water fed pole is one I love. The wow factor for the customer after we [New View Window Cleaning] are done and they can't believe what we did with "just water and a brush" is something I never tire of.

Any small business owner wears many hats. We [New View Window Cleaning] are the salesman, bookkeeper, scheduler, cleaner, customer complaint department, etc. If you aren't organized and willing to do all these things (at least in the beginning) you are better off working for someone.

The demise of our community and culture is the fault of sissified men who have been overly influenced by women.

Even though Eve ate the fruit first, God went looking for Adam. It had been Adam whom God had revealed himself to as LORD God in the context of giving Adam divine instruction.

In fact, it is precisely because we have changed books that the chaos in our country has gotten worse than ever before.

A kingdom man is a man who visibly demonstrates the comprehensive rule of God underneath the Lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of his life.

Other men look to him as someone to emulate. His church calls on him for strength and leadership. He is a preserver of culture and a champion of society to keep out evil and usher in good.

If God is your problem, only God is your solution.

God established the family as the foundation of civilization.

The primary component upon which all else rests in a kingdom is the authority of the ruler. Without that, there is anarchy resulting in mess.

Thanksgiving is not just a warm, cozy holiday. It's not merely a time of recreation and relaxation and watching football all day. As we give thanks, we need to put our mind, soul and spirit into our thanks and into our praise.

One day I was in an airport rushing to catch a plane. I was sweating and puffing when I looked to my right and saw a man walking half as fast as I was, but going faster. He was walking on a moving sidewalk. When we walk in the Spirit, eh comes underneath us and bears us along. We're still walking, but we walk dependent on him.

I believe that feminists of the more aggressive persuasion are frustrated women unable to find the proper male leadership. If a woman were receiving the right kind of love and attention and leadership, she would not want to be liberated from that.

The primary cause of this national crisis is the feminization of men.

Scripture would not only solve the individual and family divisions, but it would also solve the ecclesiastical confusion.

As a result, socialism and communism, in particular, use government to suppress religion to such a degree as to leave the one true God out entirely.

As a believer and a child of the King, to consider casting a vote for someone or for something that would go against what God would vote for ought to be out of the question.

Same-sex marriage confuses the balance that God created when he created male and female. He created a balance, where both sides would bring something to the table that would reflect the uniqueness of the creation. There is no reflection of the uniqueness of creation in same-sex marriage.

A kingdom always includes three fundamental components: a ruler, a realm of subjects who fall under his rule, and the rules or governances.

There is no area of life that does not have a biblical worldview attached to it.

A man who brags about satisfying 30 women is immature. A real man is one who can satisfy the same woman for 30 years.

The real issue at hand is how God is going to respond to a culture when the majority of the people seek to veto Him.

Insisting on living in your past will kill your future. Let it go.

It's easier to shape a child than to repair an adult.

Never has our nation , or our world, stood on the precipice of adversity in such dire need of men answering the cry to rule well.

The Bible is the voice of God in print.

Jesus wants men who will rule well.

Churches must extend their influence beyond the lives of church members to impact the broader community that they serve.

Don't wait until you are a big shot to do big shot things.

Because Jesus Christ is a man, He feels what we feel. Because He is God, He can do something about it.

God is in charge, and alone sits as the ultimate government over His creation. All other governments are then to reflect His ultimate rule.

The first thing you do is sit down with your wife and say something like this, Honey, I've made a terrible mistake. I've given you my role. I gave up leading this family. ... I'm not suggesting that you ask for your role back, I'm urging you to take it back ... Be sensitive. Listen. Treat the lady gently and lovingly. But lead!

You cannot read the Bible and ignore the political realm.

These systems attempt to box God into a government confined within the perspective of man. Yet when humanity is used as the starting point for interpreting and interacting with God's creation, faulty theology and sociology emerge as mankind attempts to fashion God into the image of man.

If God can't get the attention of the church house, He's certainly not going to stop by the White House.

When the governing representatives of the people legalize the shedding of innocent blood (as a for-profit business, nonetheless) then they have placed themselves, and those they represent, in the direct line of God's judgment.

Paul, we are going to kill you. That is cool, then I will go to Christ. Ok Paul, we are going to let you live. That is great, then I can witness Christ. Ok, then we will torture you. That is fine, then I will receive a reward in Heaven one day.

The more people marginalize the true God of the Bible the more chaotic things become.

Don't you understand, mister, you are royalty and God has chosen you to be priest of your home?

His enemies had counted on the lions taking care of Daniel. What they hadn't counted on was his God taking care of Daniel.

Men, God is not opposed to greatness. God is opposed to pride. Big difference. Unfortunately, it is a difference not widely understood or embraced.

Faith doesn't make sense. It makes miricles.

Young men need a positive influence, especially when they don't have a strong male figure in their lives. They can be influenced by a great, godly man in the church, which gives men a great mission in the church to influence these kids.

Faith is acting like God is telling the truth.

The primary role of the church is to reflect God's value system in society and to train people in that value system. It's not the government's responsibility, nor are they equipped to do that on the most local level where the need exists.

Many, if not most, Christians begin with the wrong question of who they should vote for rather than the more important question of how they should vote.

One of the reasons so many singles are dissatisfied is that they're looking for a change in status to define their significance, rather than finding a purpose in life, granted by God, that gives them significance regardless of the status they're in.

Unless God and His revealed Word is the overarching influencer and rationale over how our electoral decisions are made as believers, then we cannot expect God to be the overarching influencer in our nation.

Churches are having a limited impact on society because they fail to understand that the goal of the church is not the church itself but the kingdom.

Disciples are people who operate under the rule of God, and if we're not operating under the rule of God, we can't expect the broader society to take God seriously.

As created beings, angels are not to be worshipped, glorified, or adored in and of themselves. The angels were created to worship, glorify, adore, and obey God.

I try to explain the difference to a client between cleaning and restoration.Cleaning is simply removing some light to moderate soils. Restoration is removing those hardened deposits and stains that require heavier cleaners and much more time. Or on a building that has just been built or renovated it's removing all the construction debris. Setting expectations can go a long way to having and keeping satisfied customers.

God can take your most monstrous failures and turn them into triumphs such as you never could imagine.

When you understand the values of God's kingdom, you will best understand His agenda.4 However, it is my conviction that the message of the kingdom, and the values therein, are sorely lacking in understanding today.

Every voting choice you exercise ought to be for the candidate, platform, party, or policy that will best represent the values of the kingdom of God.

God only promises to bless the nation that recognizes His authority.

Revival is the return of God's manifest presence to His people for the purpose of them renewing their relationship with Him, with each other and for the good of the broader society. It is necessary because much of what God determines to do, or not do, in the world is determined by His relationship to His people.

Keep in mind that God's sovereignty allows Him to even use that which is not cooperating with Him (the bad) in order to move things to where He wants them to go.

If the Lord is your shepherd, He is sufficient for all your needs.

One of the major failures of the church is not a focus on building disciples but a focus on building members.

It often takes the darkness of a storm to show us the light of God's presence.

Nobody is born a drug addict or a homosexual. Christians may be performing in these unacceptable ways, but that's not who they are. It's an identity issue.

God's timing is always perfect. Trust His delays. He's got you.

If you have faith, you can do what others can't do, because you can see what others can't see.

The single greatest reason why we are losing a generation is because the home is no longer the place of the transference of the faith. We live in a day of ‘outsourcing’…Today, we have a generation of people that outsource their kids.

People wonder why they have so little of God when God has so little of them.

My fellow believers, it is time to return to the Book. It is time to look to the one source that holds the answers for how our country should operate, the Bible.

Men, you are in a battle. You are in a war. The stakes of this war and its casualties are higher than a checkmark in the win or loss column. Lives will be lost. Eternities will be shaped. Destinies will either be discovered or dismissed. Dreams will be attained or relinquished.

Brokenness is often the road to breakthrough. Be encouraged.

When it comes to politics and elections, far too many Christians spend more time appealing to family, history and tradition, culture, racial expediency, and personal preference than they do to what the Bible teaches.

You entrust your money to banks, God entrusts His money to you. How would you feel if the bank took your money and used it to play the lottery or gamble with it? So, how does God feel?

God can take the good, bad and the bitter and create a masterpiece called your destiny.

Don't magnify your problems, magnify your God...he's got you covered.

If you limit worship to where you are, the minute you leave that place of worship you will leave your attitude of worship behind like a crumpled-up church bulletin.

God doesn't need a lot to do a lot. All David had was five stones. And all David used was one.

A kingdom man is the kind of man that when his feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, "Oh crap, he's up!"

Faith is not about how much you believe in what you believe. Faith is about believing that the One you believe in is believable.

Trials are to see if you believe what you say you believe.

God is the source. Everything else is a resource.

Many of us are being held hostage by bitterness because we are not willing to give to others what we have been given.

The Proverbs 31 woman is not the model of a perfect woman. She is the model of a committed woman under God.

A kingdom man understands that God never said a godly life would be easy; He just said it would be worth it.

Jesus didn't wait until we got better to die for us. He died when we were in our most unlovely state. The person who doesn't deserve love actually needs love more, not less. If you know someone unworthy of love, that's great! You now have a chance to emulate Christ, because the essence of His love is unconditional.

When you carry the WEIGHT of yesterday, it will ruin the POWER of today and the PROGRESS of tomorrow.

Don't worry about locating your purpose. If you are seeking after God, your purpose will locate you.
