I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.

I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Never put a question mark where God has put a period. When something is over and done, let it go and move on to the next chapter of your life.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.

You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

A sign of power in a man is not only when people follow what he suggests, but also when people make a conscious effort to do the exact opposite of what he suggests.

Proof had this ability to not only nurture my talent, but to see that diamond in the rough when a million people could be looking at the same thing... and just not see it.

Because widespread participation is so central to popular sovereignty, we can say that the less political participation there is in a society, the weaker the democracy.

All experiences are stories to be told and must be written.

Health care costs are eating the Defense Department alive.

To hit bottom is to fall from grace.

This life is a test-it is only a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received further instructions on where to go and what to do. Remember, this life is only a test.

Infidelity is not freedom. It's a momentary respite from stressors that are going to come back.

No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure To brood so long upon one luxury, Unless it did, though fearfully, espy A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.

I'm not trying to make something that is difficult to perform every night. It needs to proceed at the speed of that character's thought because that's the only way it's actable.
