Life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.

To become a master communicator: shut your mouth & listen first.

In 35 yrs of leading I've been afraid at every major step but I DID IT ANYWAY since I REFUSE let fear run my life.

The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.

Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus!
