“The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.”

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.

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

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.

We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.

It’s not like I’m dying to do work that’s taken seriously, and I’m not looking to become a thespian. It’s not what I’m looking for; I’m just looking to do quality work.

This nation has never lived without independence. We cannot and shall not live without it. Either independence or death.

An ignorant doctor is the aide-de-camp of death.

My dad’s death reminds me of earthquakes – things that shake your foundation.

I’m the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.

When I’m doing an appearance somewhere and taking questions from the audience, I can always count on: ‘Tell about the guy who died on your show!’

If a man had nothing that was worth dying for, then he was not fit to live.

The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.
