A disciple is one who thinks, feels and acts like Jesus Christ. It is being conformed to the image of Christ as Romans 8:28-29 states-that God’s No.1 purpose in our lives is to make us like Jesus.
You didn’t create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.
You must begin with God.
Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.
You can’t make a life without making mistakes. Relax and learn something.
God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.
When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.
I believe that you measure the health or strength of a church by its sending capacity rather than its seating capacity.
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can’t hold any back.
Self worth and net worth are not the same.
It is never too late to start growing.
All leaders are learners. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading. I learn as much as I can, from as many as I can, as often as I can.
God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He’s working on you, too.
Becoming like Christ is a long, slow process of growth.
You won’t step on other’s toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
People may refuse our love or reject our message, but they are defenseless against our prayers.
Many people allow their need for other people’s approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.
I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.
Failure isn’t a character quality. It’s just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
