I have no ghost writers. I personally write every message and every piece of published mail.

How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.

Christ died to save this lost world; he did not come to destroy, maim or pour out wrath.

Every Teen Challenge ministry is responsible for raising its own finances, but we assist these works with finances, prayer and counseling, especially overseas in areas such as Siberia, Africa, South America.

Gwen and I have four children and ten grandchildren.

My oldest son, Gary, is a seasoned minister and travels with me for ministers' conferences.

Our nation is being led astray by ungodly judges, mayors and governors, who are given to change, defying the Constitution and substituting their own wicked agendas.

Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do.

Our ministry is debt free and we have not had to beg or plead for finances.

The Teen Challenge ministry was born out of those humble early days of ministry. It now includes over 500 drug and alcohol rehab centers around the world, even in Muslim countries. These include homes for girls and women addicts and alcoholics, all which are reaching many.

America is a giving nation and very compassionate.

Our ministry also supports orphanages in the U.S. and overseas, thousands of poor children in Latin America, drug centers for addicted men, and a drug center in Israel.

Our ministry is supported entirely by faith, through the missions gifts of readers who receive my messages every three weeks. We seldom mention money, and we never burden supporters.

I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry, but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.

Also, I preached to gangs on the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx - and miracles began to happen.

Many of those who once were so passionately in love with Christ now run about pursuing their own interests. They're burdened down with stress and problems, chasing after riches and the things of this world.

Both of our daughters, Debbie and Bonnie, are also cancer survivors.

God has never, in the history of mankind, allowed his name to go long offended.

In these times, God's people must trust him for rest of body and soul.

I believe in walking in the Spirit.

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.

The greatest fear that haunts this city is a suitcase bomb, nuclear or germ. Many people carry small gas masks. The masses here seem to be resigned to the inevitable, believing an attack of major proportions will happen.

Eighteen years ago, the Holy Spirit led me to establish a church in the heart of Times Square.

From the beginning, this has been a faith-based ministry.

Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die.

The Teen Challenge Training Center on Pennsylvania farmland houses over 200 men in rehab. Other farms and centers have been birthed out of this ministry all over the world.

I have no ghost writers. I personally write every message and every piece of published mail.

A final word: I am not knowledgeable about the internet. I do not have a computer. I guess that at 74 years of age, I don't have the patience to learn.

As I look back over fifty years of ministry, I recall innumerable tests, trials and times of crushing pain. But through it all, the Lord has proven faithful, loving, and totally true to all his promises.

God uses people. God uses people to perform His work. He does not send angels. Angels weep over it but God does not use angels to accomplish His purposes. He uses burdened broken hearted weeping men and women.

At its heart, legalism is a desire to appear holy. It is trying to be justified before men and not God.

When you strip it of everything else, Pentecost stands for power and life. That's what came into the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost.

There were some ups and downs. But it is about how you overcome those ups and downs.

I love receiving fan mail.

CBS started to confiscate our packages and mail as a safety procedure. A lot of packages that people send for the holidays and to our kids we can't open. A lot of times they are from overseas. It's very upsetting at times.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

Twice I had been stopped by these jobs, and I thought the role on Dark Shadows would go on for about three or four weeks. And then, the phenomenon began, the role caught on, the mail started to flood in.

Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

This was all the inspiration it took: We put 100 percent of ourselves in the lines. We personally take care of everything, from fulfillment to answering the mail.

Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.

The Postal Service delivers mail six days a week to nearly 140 million addresses. Every year this number increases by 2 million.

At this point, I think I would garner a lot of hate mail if I was now on the cover of Modern Drummer seeing as I'm not a modern drummer anymore.

My father had all kinds of instruments in the house that he would hide from my mother. He bought them through mail order!

If you want something, it will elude you. If you do not want something, you will get ten of it in the mail.

Our mail product, Hotmail, is the market leader globally.

Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence.

I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where I'd give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks.
