I do know this... I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.
God's got you in the palm of His hand. You won't leave one second before your time. If God wants you to be here, then you're going to be here.
You're not really free until you're free from trying to please everybody.
A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.
You will never change what you tolerate.
Associate with people of vision. Be around those who inspire you and motivate you to reach your dreams.
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
It's amazing what people will do when you see the best in them, when you honor them, when you respect them. It not only strengthens the relationship, but it will help that other person rise higher.
The creator of the universe is lining up things in my favour.
we can not prepare for defeat and expect to live a life in Victory.
You've got to believe that God is in control of your life. It may be a tough time but you've got to believe that God has a reason for it and he's going to make everything good.
You may think there is a lot wrong with you, but there is also a lot right with you.
You've got to send your words out in the direction you want your life to go.
Your destiny is not determined by your critics. Focus on running your own race.
