Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude. I think that's how you pass those tests.

I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There's the teaching that we're supposed to be poor to show that we're humble. I don't buy that. I think we're supposed to be leaders. We're supposed to excel.

You can’t think thoughts of mediocrity and expect to excel. The two don’t go together.

You may never get to that perfect world that you're waiting for where everything's going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.

I'm a reverend and a pastor. A pastor of the church. I go by usually pastor.

You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.
