Here's the grey rule: embrace things that lead you closer to Jesus, and reject things that lead you away from Jesus.

Who are we? We're not perfect but we're not worthless. Scripture tells us that we're beautifully made, but broken.

The question is not whether or not you will face trials. The question is, how will you respond when you do?

Training in God's gym may hurt sometimes, but He will make us stronger.

Faith that doesn't affect your life isn't really faith.

Folks need the Gospel. We need to have our hearts changed. We see people from a skewed point of view. We need to see people the way God sees them.

Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can't be on top all the time, it isn't natural.

Both of my parents are surfers, of course, so they understood where my passion for surfing was at and I guess they saw the talent that I had.

You know, so many people say TV makes you stupid. But it had the complete opposite affect on me. It kept me from having a really bad Southern accent.

We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.

I hate giving advice, because people won't take it.

A single profane expression betrays a man's low breeding.

The way of heaven can be known and experienced through the heart.

Till we attain immortality, all life will remain just an illusion!
