As believers in Jesus Christ, our work is to believe while God works on our behalf.

We don't have to wait for something nice to happen to us, we can be aggressive and do something nice for ourselves.

You can have Jesus in your spirit and an outrgeous mess in your soul, and if you don't know what that's called it's called religion. That's what it's called dead dry religion......Jesus said you are a bunch of white washed tombs full of dead men's bones, and I tell you if that didn't describe me I don't know what did, because on Sunday mornings I dressed it up and took it to church.

When you walk in love, you give up your right to be right.

I had received Christ as my savior when I was a child, but I didn't know anything. I didn't have any knowledge. I didn't go to church. And I had a lot of problems, and I needed somebody to kind of help me along. And I think sometimes even people who want to serve God, if they have got so many problems that they don't think right and they don't act right and they don't behave right, they almost need somebody to take them by the hand and help lead them through the early years. And that's really what discipleship is. It's helping people.

Your fellowship with God flows freely when you're willing to forgive, but it gets blocked by unforgiveness.

Regret is distress over a desire unfulfilled or an action performed or not performed.
