“Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.”

While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.

In God’s garden of grace, even broken trees bear fruit…

Living by faith isn’t living with certainty. It’s trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.

Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.

Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.

Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.

God doesn’t owe us an explanation for everything and actually what I’ve found is that explanations don’t comfort. What comforts is the presence of God, not the explanation of God.

Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials.

To establish yourself as an actress, you have to become well known. A girl just starting out, I would tell her to concentrate on acting, but she doesn’t have to go around wearing blankets.

Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

I’ve already established my (political)machinery. It’s like a car. It’s fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

The easiest way to establish a dictatorship is to claim you are God’s representative on earth.
