To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.

Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.

I spend most of my time speaking to people who totally disagree with me. I speak to gays, I speak to atheists, I speak to secularists, I speak to Muslims because I am trying to build a bridge between my heart and theirs so Jesus can walk across and they can come to know Christ.

If others don't use their gifts, you get cheated, and if you don;t use your gifts, they get cheated.

Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.

Christians can be positive even in a negative situation because we know God has a purpose for allowing that problem.
