The myth of the poor Jesus needs to be destroyed, because it's holding people back.

Come hell or high water you will never take me back to the place I was before. I have been through too much to let life whoop me again. My faith is stronger than it's ever been, my mind is more tenacious than it's ever been, my soul is more absolute.

When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.

Don't come into the presence of God to impress Him with something He gave you!

Faith becomes a bridge between where I am and where I want to go- it is a substance.

Really, when you get down to racism, in or out of the church, it's a heart issue. It's not a head issue. When we actually get to experience each other's ministry, and each other's struggle, and each other's pain, there's a much greater sensitivity.
