Selections from remarks made by Mike Wallace, a youth minister in Orrville, Ohio, upon returning from Promise Keepers Standing in the Gap Assembly in Washington, DC, and shared with us by WCEA President Beth Kiser:

"I need to spend less time on my soapbox and more time on my knees...On my soapbox I am king, but on my knees the view is a little different. An amazing transition occurs when you put your face to the ground before God."

"I should worry less about the policies of the White House and pray more for those who live in my house."

"I need to raise my voice less, and raise my hands more...A lifted voice can bring glory to the one doing the talking...but lifted hands reach out in need."

"I must never be so arrogant as to think that my salvation is in any way a result of something I've done."

"I have to remember who the real enemy is."
