Lordship settles all other issues. – Michael Catt
Lordship
Pick a way through the jungle of mediocrity and cut a path. Lead the way from ambiguity to clarity. Lead the way through the maze of post modern thinking back to the safety of absolutes.

Leadership
If you don't know, don't go. If God hasn't spoken yet, it's not time. – Michael Catt
There were many times when I thought I heard the Lord speak, but when I did hear the Lord speak, I didn't think...I knew. – Manley Beasley
God’s Will
I don't know all I should know about the end times. I don't know that I can fully explain the different theological views regarding the coming of Christ and the tribulation. I can't tell you what the meaning of 666 is, but I do know that the church is sick, sick, sick and in need of repentance. - Michael Catt
End Times

– Michael Catt
Attitude
How will I ever know God is my hiding place until I am being pursued by an enemy? How will I ever know God as my portion, unless I feel threatened? How will I ever know God has my Father unless I have felt abandoned? How will I ever know God as my deliverer, unless I am willing to step out of the boat by faith? – Michael Catt
