Learning more truth is a poor and cheap substitute for stopping and putting into action the truth already learned

God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.

There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.

Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.

Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.
