The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.

God will always bring the right people into your life, but you have to let the wrong people walk away.

When things are difficult, smile by faith. Don't wait until you feel better.

You don't have to live up to anyone's expectations, just be the best you can be

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 try to live what I teach. A lot of things come against us in life, but we should try to find something to be grateful for, and see each day as a gift.

For a while... to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don't want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen... I don't want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.
