Confidence brings joy when we let God be God.

The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.

I am a preacher. I'm involved in many other things, but, mainly, I preach. And I love it!

I think it is important to begin with a statement in your speech that grabs the attention of the audience. I try to make my opening line 15 words or less.

Focus on your marriage. Because that's the nucleus of the home, whatever you do to restore its health and strength will naturally restore what's broken among the other relationships.

Please, put aside all excuses and ask yourself, "What should I be doing?" Yes, you alone can make a difference. The question is, will you?
