To change your world, you must change your words. It's the rudder (James 3:4-5) of your life.

We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.

My hermeneutics is when I see verses in Scripture that are "apparent" contradictions - I don't believe they are contradictions - I believe them both. I believe them both. I believe take up your cross and deny yourself and follow me, and I believe come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. They are different sides of the same thing.

Never be impressed with charisma. Look for character.

People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.

We receive God's grace by humbly admitting that we need it.

The goal of 'The Purpose Driven Life' is to help people develop a heart for the world.
