The thing that binds us together is the commonality of our dreams, not our skin tone.

When God blesses you, don't let no devil in hell move you out of your place of blessing!

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.

If you already understand your purpose, are you prepared to change your plans to match God’s will? If you aren’t, you can easily become bitter because things that used to work for you may no longer work. Be willing to transition at every stage and age of life. If your heart is open and you have an open mind, the blessings will flow.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

We have a tendency to want the other person to be a finished product while we give ourselves the grace to evolve.

Others can inspire you, but ultimately the only thing that empowers you is what lies within you and learning how to better utilize what you’ve been given.
