Keep doing the right. God is building character in you, and you are passing that test. Remember, the greater the struggle, the greater the reward.

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.

Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don't think God categorizes sins.

Yes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.

If you will focus on meeting other people’s needs, God will always make sure your needs are supplied. God will take care of your problems for you.

Associate with people of vision. Be around those who inspire you and motivate you to reach your dreams.

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It's up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.
