The greater hardship you endure, the greater the authority God entrusts to you.

God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome.

Grace gives us the power to live, and mercy keeps us free from guilt, condemnation, and shame.

An offended heart is the breeding ground of deception.

Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.

The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.

If we don’t risk being hurt, we cannot give unconditional love. Unconditional love gives others the right to hurt us.

God is seeking those who hear His call to a life of worship. Those who heed are those who will walk in His presence. They will know Him intimately as He will manifest Himself to them.

We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.

We don't honor just to get a reward; we honor because it is the heart of God, and it is our delight.

Morality can provide at most only a severely limited and insufficient answer to the question of how a person should live.

Beauty is one of the strangest things. It never comes without the pain. But it always comes...eventually.

Mindset is the “software, ” and software is eating the world. Deal with changes at the mindset level.

Complaining or picketing will not solve a problem but understanding will.

Great learning and superior abilities...will be of little value and small estimation unless virtue, honor, truth, and integrity are added to them.

We do not need an imported system for falsifying elections! We will create our own, one run by the state!

So many stars who have shows are intimidated by having people around them be funnier than them. It's always the unsuccessful ones. Look at Seinfeld - he's great because he let everyone be hilarious.

I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos.

Moviemaking is a hard job and this industry is crazy. You never know what is going to happen.
