The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that's really the essence of the Christian faith.
When you give up yourself, that's when you will feel the true spirit of Christmas. And that's giving that's serving others and that's when you feel fulfilled.
Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift.
Take the limits off of yourself. You will never rise higher than your thinking. Create a great vision for your life.
You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.
Put your shoulders back, hold your head up high knowing that the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you.
My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.
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.
We were old sinners - but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I am excited about the opportunity of expanding our outreach with Free Press.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
You have enough people against you... be for yourself.
