Brother and Sister So & So are not your standard; Jesus is.

God has blessed me in many ways. Money is not the greatest blessing you can have, but I literally had absolutely nothing. The first message that I preached at Life in the Word, I had to borrow a suit from my pastor's wife, because I didn't have any decent clothes, and I was driving a 20-year-old car. We went through a lot of years of having nothing, sleeping in McDonald's parking lots, because we didn't have money to stay all night in a hotel. But, like anybody else who works hard and is diligent and doesn't quit and doesn't give up, there is a day the blessings come.

Trusting God brings life.

Helplessness is a place of power if you're helpless before God. Ask God for help in everything you do.

One of the best aids to freedom is asking God for a lot of help-and asking often.

Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

It isn't necessary to trust God when we have full understanding and knowledge of what He is doing on our behalf... Trust is needed in those times when, for whatever reason, we are not hearing from God as clearly as we would like.
