God uses those who seem ill-fitted for a significant life.

One of my great goals in life is to live long enough to where I am in the pulpit, preaching my heart out, and I die on the spot, my chin hits the pulpit - boom! - and I'm down and out. What a way to die!

We are in charge of our attitudes.

Consistency: It's the jewel worth wearing; It's the anchor worth weighing; It's the thread worth weaving; It's a battle worth winning.

One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you're not.

If you are having difficulty loving or relating to an individual, take him to God. Bother the Lord with this person. Don't you be bothered with him - leave him at the throne.

Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.
