Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.

Life is a school and problems are the curriculum.

You may be Catholic or Protestant or Buddhist or Baptist or Muslim or Mormon or Jewish or Jain, or you have no religion at all. I'm not interested in your religious background. Because God did not create the universe for us to have religion. He came for us to have a relationship with him.

The greatest detriment to tomorrow's success, is today's success.

The number one problem in our society today is short-term thinking.

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.

Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.
