I don't think it's that hard [to lead a Christian life]. To me it's fun. We have joy and happiness.

I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

Many people are unhappy and are not experiencing life to its fullest because they’ve closed their hearts to compassion, they are motivated by only what they want and what they think they need. They rarely do anything for anybody else unless they have an ulterior goal in mind. They are self-involved and self-centered.

When you face adversity, you need to remind yourself that whatever is trying to defeat you could very well be what God will use to promote you.

There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody, I don't get to go to their ballgame, I don't get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.

It's always darkest before the dawn. The bigger your challenge, the closer you are to your victory.

Too often we judge people based on our own backgrounds and experiences, but when you understand people's stories, it's easier to understand their demeanor.
