“The assumption is that the people that are marching and protesting and standing up against this don’t have enough sense to stand up for their own interests.”

So we want to make sure that happens is that we build a relationship with the police department and the community that results in better policing and better cooperation with the community.

If a cop sees a person running out of a store with a gun he’s seeing a crime. He’s not seeing a person standing.

You hear anything? Oh, let’s run! It’s Virginia today!”…

If you play the theatrics too much, you get in the way of your own cause.

Bill Clinton strikes me as the kind of guy who goes wherever the polls lead him, rather than leading the polls.

My ministry’s always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels involved in the social order.

The unfortunate part is there`s not enough balance in the legislative chambers, and particularly the senate that has to do that confirmation for there to be enough pushback.

Jeff Sessions, the person who`s likely to become our next attorney general, is striking a very different tone from our current attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who announced a consent decree with the city of Baltimore.

National Action Network, the group I founded, has affiliates or chapters in over 40 cities around the country.

Evangelicals catapulted George W. Bush back to the White House.

we unwittingly project onto God our own attitudes and feelings toward ourselves… But we cannot assume that He feels about us the way we feel about ourselves — unless we love ourselves compassionately, intensely, and freely.

Never assume that you can make it alone. You need the help of the Lord. Never hesitate to get on your knees in some private place and speak with Him.

Nothing is more destined to create deep-seated anxieties in people than the false assumption that life should be free from anxieties.

An argument can be logically valid, but unsound in that it contains a false premise and, therefore, leads to a false conclusion (e.g., Scientists are smart; smart people do not make mistakes; therefore, scientists do not make mistakes).

There is no such thing as philosophy-free science, just science that has been conducted without any consideration of its underlying philosophical assumptions.

You proceed from a false assumption: I have no ego to bruise.

You should have a strategic asset allocation mix that assumes that you don’t know what the future is going to hold.
