Significance in life doesn’t come from status, because you can always find somebody who’s got more than you. It doesn’t come from sex. It doesn’t come from salary. It comes from serving.

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

What's true or right is NEVER determined by popularity or polls. The right thing is often unpopular since it's harder to do.

The heart of the issue is an issue of the heart. And that's why I'm a pastor, not a politician. Because I think only - only God can change hearts. And only God can take the evil out. I don't think you can legislate the evil out of people.

Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.

The goal of 'The Purpose Driven Life' is to help people develop a heart for the world.

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.
