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

Don't do anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

There's plenty about God that I don't understand and can't explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He's for us.

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.

One study says that 90 percent of our everyday behavior is based on our habits. . . That means how we treat people, how we spend our money, what we watch, what we listen to - 90 percent of the time, we're on autopilot. We do what we've always done.

Do not speak defeat, speak victory.
