People in tough times - it doesn't mean they don't have a great attitude.

Be the one to stand out in the crowd.

Selfishness is weakness. But loving and caring for others is a position of power beyond anything we can possibly imagine.

I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college. When I hear some of that, I think that is not who I am, he doesn't know me or what I teach. I always talk about God rewards obedience. When you follow His way, the Bible says that His blessings will chase you down and overtake you.

Rewards await you if you stay steadfast in your faith.

The Bible indicates that for three days, Jesus went into the very depths of hell. Right into the enemy's own territory. And He did battle with Satan face to face. Can you imagine what a show down that was? It was good vs. evil. Right vs. wrong. Holiness vs. filth. Here are the two most powerful forces in the universe have come together to do battle for the first time in history. But thank God. The Bible says, "Satan was no match for our Champion". This was no contest.

My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.
