we can not prepare for defeat and expect to live a life in Victory.

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.

God wants us to live consistently, He wants us to enjoy every single day of our lives.

If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.

You're not better than anybody else, but you're not less than anybody else. You're a child of the Most High God.

When you go through a loss, a disappointment or a bad break up, don't expect to come out the same. Expect to come out better off than you were before.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.
