When man fell from grace, he lost a kingdom, not a religion. He lost dominion over the earth; He did not lose Heaven. Therefore, mankind's search is not for a religion or for Heaven but for his kingdom.
The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live.
The people who have impacted the world didn't live long. Martin Luther King. John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history.
It is my conviction that marriage is such a good idea, only God could have thought of it.
I think that the greatest gift God ever gave man is not the gift of sight but the gift of vision. Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart.
Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world.
The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness.
Whenever they sang a certain song in church, I used to sing it the loudest: 'Lead me, guide me, along the way!' One day, as I was singing this song, I felt as if the Lord was saying to me, 'Lead you along what way?' I realized then that if you don't have a plan, God doesn't have anything specific to direct you in.
Death can never kill an idea. Ideas are more powerful than death. Ideas outlive men and can never be destroyed.
The Kingdom is the love of God prevailing in politics, in business, in government, in media. It is all the impact of the laws of God creating a social environment where the strong help the weak, where those who have give to those who don't. It's a society where relationships are built on love.
True leaders don't invest in buildings. Jesus never built a building. They invest in people. Why? Because success without a successor is failure. So your legacy should not be in buildings, programs, or projects; your legacy must be in people.
Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day, and those decisions are determined by our priorities.
We are a sum total of what we have learned from all who have taught us, both great and small.
