Are we as willing to go into debt for the work of God as we are for a vacation to Hawaii?

There is more grace in God's heart than there is sin in your past.

You become stronger only when you become weaker. When you surrender your will to God, you discover the resources to do what God requires.

Everything that God brings into our life is directed to one purpose: that we might be conformed to the image of Christ.

When the mask of self-righteousness has been torn from us and we stand stripped of all our accustomed defenses, we are candidates for God's generous grace.

Someone has said that the marks of a strong church are wet eyes, bent knees, and a broken heart. We'll never be powerful until we let God be God and jealously guard His honor.

Don't ever think that there are many ways to the Divine. Jesus is the one qualified mediator, the only qualified sacrifice, and the only qualified savior.

The activities we do for God are secondary. God is looking for people who long for communication with Him.

Keep in mind that when sin is viewed superficially, it is dealt with superficially.

God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.

It is early, early morning. It's that time when it's still dark but you know the day is coming. Blue is bleeding through black. Stars are dying.

Do not, for one second, allow people with closed minds and no ambition to make a difference in this life silence you or stop you from going above and beyond.

Sunsets and death; death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.

What is forgotten cannot be healed, and that which cannot be healed easily becomes the cause of greater evil.

Whatever happens, never happens by itself.

It's hard to just kinda get some privacy and do your own thing.

I've got a song on every album, two songs as a matter of fact on every album without Auto-Tune, and that's the song that nobody talks about. It's weird.

There is existing in man, a mass of sense lying in a dormant state. The construction of government ought to be such as to bring forward, by a quiet and regular operation, all that extent of capacity.

Our greatest challenge-our greatest opportunity-is found in these words: 'Choose ye this day....'.

There's too many people in the world.
