You must begin with God.

Your past, present, and future are taken care of as you put your trust in Jesus.

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.

My hermeneutics is when I see verses in Scripture that are "apparent" contradictions - I don't believe they are contradictions - I believe them both. I believe them both. I believe take up your cross and deny yourself and follow me, and I believe come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. They are different sides of the same thing.

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 very first task of leadership is to set the vision for the organization. If you don't set the vision, you're not the leader.

Americans spend more on beer than they do on books. No wonder their stomachs are bigger than their brains.
