“No idea, thought, or inspiration is original to man, nor can it be claimed by any given individual. Either it was embraced through the words of another (spoken or written) or born straight from the heart and mind of God, Himself. Come to think of it, He is the author of both. So, if we quote someone else’s works or take credit for the inspiration ourselves, it is to God we give the honor and the glory.” –CCF Ministry Team
