"I don’t know what you think a Christian is? I know so many people that think a Christian is going to church a lot. You may have heard this before but going to church a lot doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to McDonald’s and them making you a hamburger. And saying a prayer doesn’t make you a Christian, people in every religion pray. Even praying to Jesus doesn’t make you a Christian; He says many shall come in that day and say Lord, Lord! He says depart from me, I never knew you. Having the gifts of the Sprit or looking like you’ve got them doesn’t make you a Christian. Jesus says many shall come in that day and say Lord! Did we not cast our demons, and heal the sick, and raise the dead and all kinds of stuff? And He’ll say the same thing, depart from me I never knew you. You know what a Christian is? Someone who’s banana’s for Jesus! Someone who loves the Lord thy God with all his heart, all his soul, all his mind, and all his strength. Don’t forget the second part… He loves everybody else, as much as He loves Himself.
And Paul goes even further; He prefers that others get served before him.
An unquenchable, undeniable love that God puts in our heart. And that love does not just stay within the boarder of the United States, or within the boarder of our own denomination, or in the boarders of our own church; but it’s so large, and it’s so explosive, it explodes everything that gets in its way. With gentleness and power from the Holy Ghost."
