Your enemies, your critics, the people that are trying to push you down-God can use them to push you up.
It's our faith that activates the power of God.
Don’t simply settle for what your parents had. You can go further than that. You can do more, have more, be more.
My message is that God is a good God.
There are some things you can only learn in a storm.
People of excellence go the extra mile to do what's right.
Don't do anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day.
Whether a person is straight or gay, Republican, Democrat, good person, not a good person, they're all welcome, because to me, church is a place you're supposed to get healed and whole and loved.
There is a place that God has specifically designed for you where all your needs will be supplied, where you'll be happy and fulfilled, and where you'll be using your gifts and talents to the full.
It’s vital that you accept yourself and learn to be happy with who God made you to be. If you want to truly enjoy your life, you must be at peace with yourself.
Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, is really God getting us in position to go to a new level.
Do yourself a favor; don’t wear yourself out trying to please everybody. Your time is too valuable.
If you think your obstacles are too big, they will be. Don’t set limits on your life with your thinking.
Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He'd leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there.
