The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.

I'd rather live dangerously for Jesus than exist safely for people's approval.

So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.

You weren't put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity.

I am motivated by the fact that in the next 365 days, 136,000 Californians will die and most of them will go into an eternity without Christ. In the next 365 days, 2.4 million Americans will die; most of them will go into eternity without Christ. In the next 365 days, 74 million people in the world will go into eternity without Christ and without hope. I can't live with that.

I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.
