Part 1 of 3 segments of Charlie’s speech, “A Christian is a Full-Time Minister,” hits on tips helpful for anyone interested in being a better teacher, public speaker, or trainer.

Quotes:

“I finally caught on one day! I wasn’t supposed to listen! What was I to do? Think. I was to think. Now here’s the idea. From now on, when you read a book. From now on, when you hear a sermon. From now on, when you hear a speaker. Take out your pen. Rather than writing down the things they said, build a habit of writing down the things you think.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

“You know what good witnessing is? You know what good speaking is? You know what effective teaching and training is? Interrupting the train of thought.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

“The purpose of every work of God is that every one of us has the same life story.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

“There’s one thing I know tonight. We don’t all have the same blessings, but we can all have the same blesser.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

“Once in a while a guy says, ‘I do so little for God’. And I say, ‘Well thank God for that, the little you did has almost ruined us!’” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

“Grits is the only food the more you eat the more you have left on your plate.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

“You can’t TRY to be a witness for Christ and be a witness. You know what happens to people who TRY to get saved? You go to hell. Because God didn’t die for me to try to get to heaven, he died that I would surrender my heart and yield my will, and yield the right-of-way to Him to l do what he let me be born to do.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones
