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.

If we didn't have to stand against temptation, we'd never know our own spiritual strength.

Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.

You can't have real love without operating in forgiveness. Love keeps giving the other person another chance.

If we know God is for us, then it shouldn't matter how we feel, or what other people think of us.

There are no drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time.

Is there any real purpose in being alive if all we are going to do is get up every day and live only for ourselves? Live your life to help others. Give & live selflessly.
