Discipleship is crucial to our ultimate destiny, but its cost is total commitment.

When you follow God's will for your life, you can see how yesterday's events prepared you for today's challenges and tomorrow's opportunities.

Prayer is the way you defeat the devil, reach the lost, restore a backslider, strengthen the saints, send missionaries out, cure the sick, accomplish the impossible, and know the will of God.

Integrity is keeping a commitment even after circumstances have changed.

No circumstance, person, or difficulty can stop the plans and the promises of God.

If you are a Christian, your search for approval should be over.

When our lives are filled with peace, faith and joy, people will want to know what we have.

Don't wait until the moment of crisis. Plan ahead, hide God's Word in your heart, and pray in advance for victory, holiness, and a life pleasing to God.

Everyone we meet is a hero waiting to happen. When Jesus saw people, He envisioned their potential. No respecter of persons, He associated with people from all walks of life.

God loves you as though you are the only person in the world, and He loves everyone the way He loves you.

You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.

Be a lover of the world, it is the only way to survive in it.

Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult tasks.

That is the trouble with standing up to people, of course. Once you start doing it, you can hardly stop.

The gift of words, the source of enjoyment, the source of delight that comes within and the unfading beauty and energy of words.

To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.

but nothing can be taken back, not the leaves by the trees, the rain by the clouds. You want to take back the ugly thing you said, but some shrapnel remains in the wound, some mud.

This great misfortune, to be incapable of solitude.

If someone who knows what's going on comes up and says they liked the music, I appreciate that.

I doubt I would ever be missed. Noted absent, charged delinquent, reprimanded but never missed.
