Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.

Don't seek more days in your life but more life in your days.

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!

I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.

No, the thing that makes for greatness is determination, persisting in the right direction over the long haul, following your dream, staying at the task.

In place of our exhaustion and spiritual fatigue, God will give us rest. All He asks is that we come to Him...that we spend a while thinking about Him, meditating on Him, talking to Him, listening in silence, occupying ourselves with Him - totally and thoroughly lost in the hiding place of His presence.

God's heavenly plan doesn't always make earthly sense.
