I believe God will fight my battles for me.
My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.
The main message of it is to not get stagnant and that God wants us to continue to grow and become a better person.
If you don't set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.
That's it. I'm going to start making the right choices.
I don't have all the answers.
A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
We're going to bring our core message of hope and how God is a good God who's on our side.
That's my thing - keep filled with faith. Keep doing what you can do and I believe God will do what you can't do.
If Jesus were here today, he wouldn't be riding around on a donkey. He'd be taking a plane, he'd be using the media.
Men, learn to speak blessings over your wife and you will see that woman rise to a new level. She will respond to your praise and encouragement. Your words don't have to be poetic, fancy, or profound. Tell her simply but sincerely, "You're a great mother to our children. And you are a great wife to me. I'm so glad I can always count on you."
Listen carefully to the words and tone of voice you use with your spouse. Are you complaining all the time and telling her what she's not doing right? Or are you doing like Solomon-blessing, encouraging, and uplifting that woman?
If we will do our part and take a strong stand for our families, God will do His part. He'll help us to have great marriages and great relationships with our parents and children.
