God is all powerful, He's in control.

Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.

Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you - to pray more, trust more, expect more.

Taking risks in older age is more courageous because you have more to lose. When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.

I've often said why does God leave us here on earth, once we accept Christ, once we're in the family, why didn't he just kill us. Why leave us here? Well, because he's working on our character through these trials, these tribulations, we're learning to practice what we're going to do in heaven. So really, the kingdom mindset is actually the eternal mindset. It's not just about eternal life. Eternal life is getting ready for that.

When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.

God does not owe me an explanation for what He does in my life. And if I am looking for that to feel better about my suffering, then I'm not going to get it.
