Building friendships with people from dissimilar backgrounds and diverse perspectives will make you wiser and more creative.

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.

You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your real purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance and our destiny.

A disciple is one who thinks, feels and acts like Jesus Christ. It is being conformed to the image of Christ as Romans 8:28-29 states-that God's No.1 purpose in our lives is to make us like Jesus.

America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.

Because every day of your life was written on God's calendar before you were born, everything that happens to you has spiritual significance.

Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.
