God's purpose is greater than our problems, our pain and even our sin.
There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
Anytime you feel jealous or envious, you reject your uniqueness. It's a criticism of God's plan for you.
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
When you win, don't swagger. When you lose, don't sulk.
If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.
You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. ... Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you!
To change your world, you must change your words. It's the rudder (James 3:4-5) of your life.
Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal.
Leadership is learned, earned, and discerned. You develop it. It's based on trust and credibility. Others see it in you. You can't demand it.
God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!
It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.
The test of your worldview is not how you act in the good times. The test of your worldview is how you act at the funeral. Having been through literally hundreds if not thousands of funerals: ... It makes a difference what you believe.
Everytime you forgive you disappoint the devil.
