People forget that the church is bigger than China. It speaks more languages than the United Nations. It has more volunteers than all the NGOs in the world put together.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time

You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

I have too much work on my hands and I would not be a dutiful husband.

I judge people very quickly.

A lot of times I'll post things on Facebook, and the immediate response will be like, "Stick to the music!"

Inside of us, there's a continual autumn. Our leaves fall and are blown out over the water.

This is what it means to be in the middle of love, I thought. Being in the middle of love is like being in the middle of a war zone.
