“Complaining proves nothing but that you can hear the voice of the Devil”

Perfectionism is the counterfeit of excellence. Excellence is Kingdom, while perfectionism is religion. What ever you do, do it with all you might, and as unto the Lord. That is excellence.

You cannot hold God hostage (to your questions). He doesn’t owe you an answer. If you want the peace that passes understanding, you’re going to have to give up your right to understanding. It’s called trust.

You have authority over every storm you can sleep in

I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it.

When we pursue kingdom principles above His presence, we are looking for the kingdom without a king.

Leaders who lack passion cost everyone who follows.

The most simple way to stay encouraged is to feed your heart on what He is doing, not on what He hasn’t done. If you can’t see what He is doing, feed on what He has done in the past.

An area of life that does not have hope is under a lie.

God wants people to meet Him when they meet us.

Nothing compares with the satisfaction of pleasing the heart of our heavenly Father.

People follow courage, not titles.

Radical obedience always gives priority to what God has said over what He hasn’t said.

We all remember things, it’s what we remember that determines how we live.

Sacrifice is a step beyond convenience.

If we really knew who God created us to be we would never want to be someone else.

I try to live in such a way that nothing gets bigger than my awareness of God presence on my life.

I find it ironic that people who are against things that cause sexual thoughts are generally fundamentalist Christians who also believe you should be fruitful and multiply.

To experience true life, we must continue the Christian journey the same way we began it – by faith.

I was very rebellious, but my family was strict Christians – they would ask us, “What’s the shortest verse in the Bible?” and I was the one who always said “John 11:35” straightaway. It stayed with me, the Bible has stayed with me.

Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous.

I am neither Christian enough nor charitable enough to like anybody just because he is alive and breathing. I want people to interest or amuse me. I want them fascinating and witty or so dul as to be different.

A Christian cannot fail of being a republican.

I think confronted with the modern world or with the rest of the world, I think people are becoming aware that the Western and Islamic civilizations have more in common than apart.

Nothing spoils human nature more than false zeal. The good nature of a heathen is more God-like than the furious zeal of a Christian.
