People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
The facts may tell you one thing. But, God is not limited by the facts. Choose faith in spite of the facts.
Your past does not determine who you are. Your past prepares you for who you are to become.
God wants to bless us where we are.
My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
Nothing can take your joy; you have to give it away. You're in complete control of your happiness.
When you get knocked down, don't stay down; get back up again. Nothing good is going to happen as long as you're down on yourself.
Every day is a gift from God. There's no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.
You have a destiny to fulfill, something greater than you've ever even imagined. But if you're going to become all you were created to be, you've got to take off the “average” label.
I'm not. I don't – I don't dislike anybody. Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world. But my faith is based on what I believe the scripture says, and that's the way I read the Scripture.
People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.
The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.
Don’t just look for your miracle. Become someone else's miracle.
Our words set the direction for our lives.
