Again I think my gift is bringing hope to everybody, and I don't want someone to look at me and say, "I would listen to him, I like what he's saying, but he's this or that politically and that turns me off."

Father, I desire to please You in everything I do. I declare that You are good and faithful. I trust You with my whole heart and believe that You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You. I bless You and honor You today in Jesus' name. Amen.

If you want to know where you'll be five years from now, listen to what you're saying about yourself today.

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.

Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment.

You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I'm going to be my best right now. That's what faith is all about.

You have excellence on the inside. It’s who you are. Now do your part. Bring out your excellence!
