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 purposely don't talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It's not about the money.

Life is short. Don't miss opportunities to spend time with the people that you love.

We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.

I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don't have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.

Don't spend all your time trying to win over your critics. Just run your own race.

God can make greatness out of a great mess
