“Becoming a Christian is the work of a moment; being a Christian is the work of a lifetime.”

[There are] seven gifts God gives you when you commit your life to Christ: a new relationship, a new citizenship, a new family, a new purpose, a new power, a new destiny, and a new journey.

Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God’s eyes is faithfulness to His calling.

Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don’t complain.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

Christianity is not a spectator sport. It’s something in which we become totally involved.

If people are kicking you in the behind, at least you’re in front of them.

The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I’ll never be bored of it.

I have a love in my life. It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine.

We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.

The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying.

Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.

God sometimes removes a person from your life for your protection. Don’t run after them.
