“Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you – to pray more, trust more, expect more.”

Most of the time, it’s your thinking, not your talent, that holds you back.

Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you – your 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.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.

Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.

Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you’re not.

I’m so used to being used. So I love when you call unexpected, Cause I hate when the moment is expected.

You don’t show up on game day and expect to be great. Greatness happens in practice. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Happiness doesn’t always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

The key is to set realistic customer expectations, and then not to just meet them, but to exceed them – preferably in unexpected and helpful ways.

I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.

It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.

Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes for you.
