I’m not a Christian because I’m strong and have it all together. I’m a Christian because I’m weak and admit I need a Savior.

Good people don’t go to Heaven, forgiven people do.

People will hurt you. But don't use that as an excuse for your poor choices, use it as motivation to make the right ones.

I know specifically me being somebody who has had most of my experiences within the black church, that's cultural... you gotta put on your church clothes when you got to church...and it's nothing wrong with that - that's absolutely fine! But I think what's happening to a new generation ,the hip hop generation, there's astigmatism, a feeling that I'm unwelcome.

In heaven I'll be shocked by those who aren't there, those I didn't think would be there but are. And the fact I'm there at all.

God says, "there's nothing you can do to be accepted, trust me and and let me change you." And at the end of the day, acceptance isn't about what I do, or what I don't do. Acceptance is about me trusting God to take me exactly as I am and take me to something different. And I think that's what we should have for people.

Character isn't who you are when life goes your way. Character is who you really are when the bottom falls out.
