Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.

Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.

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

You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.

I do believe that the Kingdom of God is present wherever Jesus is king. That's my definition of the Kingdom of God.

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.

Instant obedience will teach you more about God than a lifetime of Bible discussions.
