“If you devote yourself to more than yourself … you will have more than yourself to show for yourself.”

I’ve talked to many individuals who want to discuss their problems. But they don’t really have problems. They have chosen to live in the wrong direction. They don’t need a solution. They need a new direction.

My hope is not in riches but in him who richly provides.

Learning never takes place while you’re talking.

Jesus doesn’t take sides; He takes over.

The starting block for people who are going to stay in love is mutual submission.

Imagine a world where unbelievers were critical of what we believed but envious of how well we treated one another.

It takes a habit to break a habit. You can pray every day for a generous heart, but until you start acting in that direction, nothing’s going to change.

Without courage we will simply accumulate a collection of good ideas and regrets.

You cannot communicate complicated information to large groups of people. As you increase the number of people, you have to decrease the complexity of the information.

You have no idea the numbers of people that God may want to influence through you.

You can’t resist the will of God and receive the grace of God at the same time.

Stop looking for solutions to problems and start looking for the right path.

I can’t make people fall in love with Jesus, but I can arrange dates.

Success is remaining faithful to the process God has laid out for you.

Jesus is the hope of the world and the local church is the vehicle of expressing that hope to the world.

Any fear associated with giving to God’s kingdom is irrational. It’s on par with a farmer who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuses to plant his fields.
