The greatest gift God gave us is also our greatest curse, which is the free will. We are made in God's image, the Bible says, which means we have the ability to love him or not love him, to reject him or not reject him.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

The more you care about the powerless, the more power you have. The more you serve those with no influence, the more influence God gives you. The more you humble yourself, the more you're honored by others.

I am motivated by the fact that in the next 365 days, 136,000 Californians will die and most of them will go into an eternity without Christ. In the next 365 days, 2.4 million Americans will die; most of them will go into eternity without Christ. In the next 365 days, 74 million people in the world will go into eternity without Christ and without hope. I can't live with that.

If someone broke your heart it doesn't mean you should build a wall around it and quit loving. Redirect your love.

You can't grow strong without resistance.

What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
