You will never go beyond the barriers in your own mind. If you think you can't do something, then you never will.

When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.

You have to come to your closed doors before you come to your open doors

I think sometimes the critics want me to beat people down, and that's not in me. I want to lift people up.

When you allow what someone says or does to upset you, you're allowing them to control you.

My message is that God is a good God.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.
