God doesn't want his people to go second-class.

You can't fake it when you're alone with God, you know.

When we complain, we remain. When we whine, we stay behind. When we praise, we raise.

Why should I apologize because God throws in crystal chandeliers, mahogany floors, and the best construction in the world?

When I first went to prison, I was even questioning where, God, where are you?

I sorrowfully acknowledge that seven years ago.... I was wickedly manipulated by treacherous former friends and colleagues who victimized me with the aid of a female confederate. They conspired to betray me into a sexual encounter at a time of great stress in my marital life.... I was set up as part of a scheme to co-opt me and obtain some advantage for themselves over me in connection with their hope for position in the ministry.

I feel like God has forgiven me of so much, that I will forgive everyone who has hurt us
