On Sundays when I speak, I hopefully give somebody something that they can use the next day at work or at home.
The greater the giving, the greater the living.
You can have average talent, but when God breathes on your life, you will go further than people that have great talent. Don't talk yourself out of it.
When the negative thoughts come - and they will; they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.
Keep believing. You may be tired, discouraged, but don't give up on your future.
Yes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.
No bad break, no disappointment, no accident can shorten one second of my divine destiny.
Don't ever say anything negative about yourself.
God made us for more than just barely getting by. We weren't meant to sit on the sidelines of life because with God, we are on the winning team!
I want get across to not just the church world. I want to get outside those walls to everyday people.
I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don't have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.
No matter what you've gone through in the past, no matter how many setbacks you've suffered or who or what has tried to thwart your progress, today is a new day, and God wants to do a new thing in your life.
Start believing bigger, dreaming bigger & expecting bigger.
Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift.
