Behind every successful child is an adult who believed in him.

If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.

Be grateful for who you are and whatever you have. Everything you have is a gift from God.

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

The antidote to the lust of the flesh is integrity.

I have done political things, I couldn't care less about politics. I have zero interest in politics, really. They don't allure me. I have no interest in them, because if I could believe the law could change people's behavior then I would become a politician. But only Christ can change the heart.

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.
