Familiarity breeds complacency.

Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God.

I want to change my circumstances. God wants to change me.

Self worth and net worth are not the same.

You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.

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.

There's much you can't change, but there's something important you can change: you.
