Don't put a question mark where God has put a period.

No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming.

It's easy to see the negative, but every person has something great about them. Develop a habit of looking for the good.

When I took over from my father, he came from the Southern Baptist background, and back 40-50 years ago, there was a lot more of that.I don't believe - maybe it was for a time. But I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm there to encourage them.

I'm trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He's for them and has a purpose.

There's a belief that you're supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don't see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.
