“The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.”

Jesus’ call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.

God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

I don’t have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

A key to everything is surrender – to really come before the Lord and say, – I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay’ or ‘God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.

The Bible teaches that true joy is formed in the midst of the difficult seasons of life.

Are we in love with God or just His stuff?

Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.

A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled up on top of it.

God’s presence is all that matters.

Lukewarm living and claiming Christ’s name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.

Proclaiming the gospel to a lost world cannot be just another activity to add to the church’s crowded agenda. It must be central to who we are. It forms our identity.

Lukewarm people call ‘radical’ what Jesus expected of all His followers.

I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.

I’m not a follower. I’m a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.

I don’t particularly enjoy publicity, it seems to just follow me around.

I know how influential I am over my fans and followers. I feel like everything I do, my hair color, my makeup, I always start these huge trends, and I don’t even realize what I’m capable of.

Foolish people follow the system, get caught up in media news, what the government wants you to believe and all the higher powers want you to believe, and go down the same path as all the sheep in the cattle market.

I don’t really follow trends – I don’t like wearing what other people are wearing. I just like to be original!

All historical experience demonstrates the following: Our earth cannot be changed unless in the not too distant future an alteration in the consciousness of individuals is achieved.

Where the eye is focused, there the imagination finds its raw material. The right focus must be won at immense cost and discipline. Train the eye to see the good, and the imagination will follow suit.

There are dialogue writers for a movie, there is a script to be followed… whatever my character says is not a reflection on my personal opinion or principles in life.
