The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal.

When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way.

Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!

My faith, my hermeneutics does not demand that I correlate every verse. In other words, there are often verses that appear, I'm a John 3:16 Christian, I believe God so loved the world, I do believe that, and I believe that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish. But I also believe, you know, predestination from the foundation of the Earth. So to me, I'm able to hold tensions in my mind rather than having to explain them. To me, I don't fit in a real good box and I believe them both.

The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection but credibility. People must be able to trust you.

We’re not completely happy here because we’re not supposed to be! Earth is not our final home; we were created for something much better.
