At This Very Moment, God’s Working Behind The Scenes In Your Life, Arranging Things In Your Favor. Stay In Faith!

I Try To Live What I Teach. A Lot Of Things Come Against Us In Life, But We Should Try To Find Something To Be Grateful For, And See Each Day As A Gift.

There's Plenty About God That I Don't Understand And Can't Explain. But I Come Back To My Core Belief That God Is Good, That He's For Us.

The Marriage Partner Is Not Really The Problem. No Other Person Can Ultimately Make You Happy. You Must Learn How To Be Happy Within Yourself.

How To Be Happy

Never Put A Question Mark Where God Has Put A Period. When Something Is Over And Done, Let It Go And Move On To The Next Chapter Of Your Life.

We Need To Show Mercy. I Mean, Because As Much Mercy As You Show People, That's The Mercy You're Going To Be Receiving.

I Deal With More Practical Issues Of The Bible.

I Do Know This... I Seem To Reach A Lot Of Previously Unchurched People. So Many People Have Told Me They Never Went To Church Until They Heard Our Message Of Hope That God Is A Good God Who Desires To Bless Those Who Are Faithful And Obedient To Him Through Jesus Christ.

People Have The Right To Their Opinion And You Have The Right To Ignore It.

That's It. I'm Going To Start Making The Right Choices.

When You Stir Up The Passion, Your Faith Will Allow God To Do Amazing Things. If You Want To Remain Passionate, You Cannot Let What Once Was A Miracle Become Ordinary.

Father, I Desire To Please You In Everything I Do. I Declare That You Are Good And Faithful. I Trust You With My Whole Heart And Believe That You Are A Rewarder Of Those Who Diligently Seek You. I Bless You And Honor You Today In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Replace Those Thoughts Of Worry With Thoughts Of Hope, Faith, And Victory.

If You Want To Rear Financial Blessings, You Have To Sow Financially.

I Believe God's Keeping The Records, And I Believe You Will Be Rewarded Even In This Life. Somehow, Some Way, God Will Make It Up To You. It May Be He Protected You From An Accident You Never Knew. You Can't Give God Something Without God Giving You More In Return, Whether It's Peace Or Joy Or Satisfaction.

Sometimes When You Take Strong Stands, If You're Not Called To Do It, You're Dividing The Audience You're Trying To Reach.

You Have A Destiny To Fulfill, Something Greater Than You've Ever Even Imagined. But If You're Going To Become All You Were Created To Be, You've Got To Take Off The “average” Label.

Take The Limits Off Of Yourself. You Will Never Rise Higher Than Your Thinking. Create A Great Vision For Your Life.

There's Pros And Cons Of A Big Church. Cons Is I Don't Get To Know Everybody, I Don't Get To Go To Their Ballgame, I Don't Get To Marry Everybody, But The Pros Are You Get All This Community, 800 Ushers Come In To Serve, Getting There At 7 In The Morning On Their Day Off And Coming In On Saturday To Make All Those Wafers.

Don't Live Worried, Frustrated Or Upset Because Of What Somebody Did Or What Didn't Work Out. Come Back To A Place Of Peace. It's Not Going To Work Against You; It's Going To Work For You.

Any Of Us Can Be Happy And Have A Good Attitude When Everything Is Going Our Way. But I Believe It's The Real Test Of Your Character And Of Your Faith To Say, 'things Are Not Going Our Way, But I'm Still Being Good To People; I'm Still Attending Church; I Still Have A Good Attitude.'

I Like To Start My Day Off Every Morning, Take The First Half Hour And Just Search My Own Heart, See If I'm On The Right Course, Try To Be Honest With Myself - Am I Doing This For The Right Reasons?

There's A Belief That You're Supposed To Be Poor, And Suffering, And Show Your Humility. I Just Don't See The Bible That Way. I See That God Came And Jesus Died So That We Might Live An Abundant Life And Be A Blessing To Others.

Slow Down And Enjoy The Journey Right Now. Take Time For The People In Your Life. They Won't Always Be There.

So Many People Say, "i Just Don't Have A Good Job, Or My Marriage Is Not Where It's Supposed To Be." Really It's Excuse After Excuse To Not Be Happy. To Me It's A Waste. I'm Going To Look At What's Right And Not What's Wrong In My Life. I'm Alive, I'm Healthy, And You Know, A Good Thing To Remember Is Somebody's Got It A Lot Worse Than We Do.

That’s Why It Is Important To Enjoy The Journey Not Just The Destination. In This World, We Will Never Arrive At A Place Where Everything Is Perfect And We Have No More Challenges. As Admirable As Setting Goals And Reaching Them Maybe, You Can’t Get So Focused On Accomplishing Your Goals That You Make The Mistake Of Not Enjoying Where You Are Right Now.

God Wants To Use You In Spite Of Your Weaknesses. Of God Chose To Use Perfect People Only, He’d Have No One To Use

I Want The Services To Look And Sound Like The Grammys. It's Not Showy, But We Represent God, And It Should Be First Class.

We’re Not Always Going To Be Here. Live Life To The Full, With Purpose & Passion, Pursuing Your Dreams.

Don't Ever Criticize Yourself. Don't Go Around All Day Long Thinking, 'i'm Unattractive, I'm Slow, I'm Not As Smart As My Brother.' God Wasn't Having A Bad Day When He Made You... If You Don't Love Yourself In The Right Way, You Can't Love Your Neighbour. You Can't Be As Good As You Are Supposed To Be.

I'm Not A Big Believer In Trying To Jam Stuff Down Somebody's Throat: 'you're Going To Do It My Way.' I'd Rather Show By Example And Live My Life And Have People Say, 'you Know What, I Want To Live Like Joel Has. He's Got Peace And Joy, And He Seems Content.'

Quit Worrying About How Everything Is Going To Turn Out. Live One Day At A Time; Better Yet, Make The Most Of This Moment. It’s Good To Have A Big – Picture Outlook, To Set Goals, To Establish Budgets And Make Plans, But If You’re Always Living In The Future, You’re Never Really Enjoying The Present In The Way God Wants You To.

When You Believe, It Activates God's Power.

We're Going To Bring Our Core Message Of Hope And How God Is A Good God Who's On Our Side.

There's A Lot Of Negative Things Trying To Pull People Down, And I Think People Respond When You Tell Them That Hey, There Are Good Things Up Ahead.

Getting Back Up

Choose Today To Let The Peace Of Christ Rule In Your Heart And Have An Attitude Of Gratitude Toward The Lord.

Fear And Faith Have Something In Common. They Both Ask Us To Believe In Something We Cannot See.

Listen Carefully To The Words And Tone Of Voice You Use With Your Spouse. Are You Complaining All The Time And Telling Her What She's Not Doing Right? Or Are You Doing Like Solomon-blessing, Encouraging, And Uplifting That Woman?

My Daddy Tried To Get Me Up To Speak For The 17 Years That I Worked Behind The Scenes, But I Never Had The Desire. Naturally, I Was Nervous And Kind Of Shy. I Just Didn't Want To Do It.

You Have To Come To Your Closed Doors Before You Come To Your Open Doors

See, When You Drive Home Today, You've Got A Big Windshield On The Front Of Your Car. And You've Got A Little Bitty Rearview Mirror. And The Reason The Windshield Is So Large And The Rearview Mirror Is So Small Is Because What's Happened In Your Past Is Not Near As Important As What's In Your Future.

We Deal With People That Are Going Through Divorces And That Are Facing Life-threatening Illnesses, And I'm Giving Them Hope. And To Me, I Don't Think There's Anything "lite" About That.

I'm Not Leading Them To Some False God Or Something Like That.

The Older I Get, The Better I Understand That Every Day Is A Gift. There's No Guarantee Of Tomorrow. And Part Of My Whole Philosophy Is: This Day Is Too Important To Live It Angry, Upset, Discouraged Or Stressed Out If Plans Don't Work Out. This Is Life, And I'm Going To Move On.

I'm Honest Enough To Say I Don't Know Everything. You Know, I Don't. I Don't Understand All Of God. I Don't Understand, You Know, Some Kind Of Why Bad Things Happen.

I See People - They Won't Be Negative Toward Other People, But Inside They're Negative Toward Themselves, And I Think That Holds Us Back.

You Didn't Accidentally Get Your Personality, Looks And Gifts. You Were Designed On Purpose To Be The Way You Are. You Have What You Need To Fulfill Your Destiny.

I've Never Preached One Sermon On Money, On Just Finances. I Want To Stay Away From It.

It May Look Like The Difficulty Is Going To Defeat You. But You Need To Keep Telling Yourself, "this Sickness Can't Take My Life." "this Cancer Can't Defeat Me." "no Bad Break, No Disappointment, No Accident Can Shorten One Second Of My Divine Destiny."

I Think Sometimes The Critics Want Me To Beat People Down, And That's Not In Me. I Want To Lift People Up.

Your Life Will Follow Your Expectations. What You Expect Is What You Will Get. If You Dwell On Positive Thoughts, You Will Move In That Direction; If You Continually Think Negative Thoughts, You Will Live A Negative Life.

Sometimes What We Think Is A Disappointment, Is Really God Getting Us In Position To Go To A New Level.

Positive Attitude

If You Don't Have The Gift Of A Loving Supportive Family, Be That Gift For Someone Else. It Doesn't Have To Be A Relative, Just Someone You Know Who Is Alone Or Hurting Over The Holiday.

You Cannot Wait Until Everything Becomes Better Before You Decide To Have A Good Attitude. You Have To Be The Best You Can Be Right Where You Are.

Start Calling Yourself Healed, Happy, Whole, Blessed, And Prosperous. Stop Talking To God About How Big Your Mountains Are, And Start Talking To Your Mountains About How Big Your God Is!

Where You Are Now Is Not Where You Will Always Be. There Are Brighter Days Up Ahead.

I Believe God's Keeping The Records And I Believe You Will Be Rewarded Even In This Life; Somehow, Some Way God Will Make It Up To You.

I Think God's Justice Is Making Wrongs Right.

John Bunyan, Author Of The Classic Book The Pilgrim’s Progress, Said “you Have Not Lived Today Until You Have Done Something For Someone Who Cannot Pay You Back.” Make A Decision That You Will Live To Give.

Understand That The Enemy Always Fights The Hardest When He Knows You Are Closest To Your Breakthrough. He'd Leave You Alone If He Thought You Were Going To Live In Mediocrity. If You Keep Pressing On Toward Your Promise, Through Faith And Patience, You Will Get There.

The Sad Truth Is, If You Push Hard Enough, And If You’re So Stubborn That You Must Have Things Your Way, God Will Sometimes Allow You To Undertake A Project Without His Blessing Or At The Wrong Time.

You Can’t Let Outside Expectations Keep You From Following Your Own Heart.

Your Life Is Too Valuable To Waste Being Distracted.

The Bible Indicates That For Three Days, Jesus Went Into The Very Depths Of Hell. Right Into The Enemy's Own Territory. And He Did Battle With Satan Face To Face.

Opposition Is Not There To Stop You, It’s There To Establish You.

We Keep A Lot Of Humor And Laughter In The Home. A Lot Of Times These Days, People Let The Stress Of Life Take The Joy From The Home. When You Can Laugh And You Can Have Joy, That's Very Healthy. Victoria Is Easy Going. She's Very Spontaneous And Fun. I Can Hear Her Laughter All Through The House. It Sets The Tone For The House. I Like Someone Who Can Laugh. The Second Thing Is Respect. We Just Do Our Best. We Don't Always Agree With Each Other But We Make The Decision That We Want To Treat Each Other With Respect.

If You Don't Set The Tone For The Day, The Devil Will Set It For You.

There’s A Lot That Is Good In Your Life-don’t Take It For Granted. Don’t Get So Focused On The Struggles That You Miss The Gift Of Today

It's God's Will For You To Live In Prosperity Instead Of Poverty. It's God's Will For You To Pay Your Bills And Not Be In Debt.

I'm Not The Judge. You Know, God Didn't Tell Me To Go Around Judging Everybody.

Everybody Is Going To Have Their Critics. It's Easy To Get Discouraged In Life.

Some People Keep God In A Sunday Morning Box And Say, 'hey, I Did My Religious Duty.' That's Fine, But The Scripture Says To Pray Without Ceasing. And I Think That Means All Through The Day You're Talking To God. Even If It's In Your Thoughts.

You May Think You’re Getting The Short End Of The Stick, But When It’s All Said And Done, God Will Make Sure That You Don’t Lose Anything Truly Valuable. Moreover, He’ll Make Sure You Get Your Just Reward. Your Responsibility Is To Remain Calm And Peaceable Even When Those Around You Are Not.

It Is A Hard Thing To Let Go Of Mistakes We've Made And Sins. God Wants Us To Do That Because He Knows The Guilt And The Condemnation Will Keep Us From Becoming Who He Has Created Us To Be. Salvation And Christ's Love Is A Gift. You Don't Earn It. You've Got To Receive That Gift. I Think One Of The Most Important Things Is Starting Off The Day Forgiving Others And Forgiving Yourself. You Learn From Your Mistakes, But I Don't Think You Have To Drag Them Back Into Today.

So Many People Talk About Themselves: "i'm Unattractive, My Mind's So Slow, And I Can't Do This." And You Know What I Tell Them? "god Didn't Make A Mistake When He Made You. You Need To See Yourself As God Sees You."

Don't Spend All Your Time Trying To Win Over Your Critics. Just Run Your Own Race.

If You Can See The Invisible, God Will Do The Impossible.

You Have To Make A Switch. Decide Today To Start Appreciating Your Spouse's Strengths And Learn To Downplay Their Weaknesses. If You Do, Your Marriage Will Be Filled With More Peace, Unity And Love, And You'll See God Bless Your Marriage In Greater Ways.

But God Is Waiting On You To Get Up On The Inside. When You Do Your Part, He’ll Begin To Change Things And Work Supernaturally In Your Life.

Quit Questioning God And Start Trusting Him!

God's Got You In The Palm Of His Hand. You Won't Leave One Second Before Your Time. If God Wants You To Be Here, Then You're Going To Be Here.

A Disagreement Or Incident Involving Someone Who's Not That Important To You, Like A Guy Who Cut You Off In Traffic Or A Rude Cashier, Is Something That Should Roll Off Your Shoulders. Save The Effort For Resolving Conflicts With The People You Cherish.

God Always Wants Us To Be Growing.

God Knows Your Value; He Sees Your Potential. You May Not Understand Everything You Are Going Through Right Now. But Hold Your Head Up High, Knowing That God Is In Control And He Has A Great Plan And Purpose For Your Life.

This Is A Day That God Has Given Me. It's A Gift. I Can Never Relive This Day. And I'm Not Going To Live It Angry, In Unforgiveness, And Mad At Somebody. If I Don't Get My Way, I'm Going To Believe That God's Still In Control.

Faith Doesn't Always Instantly Deliver You, But It Always Carries You Through.

God's Way Is Better Than Your Way. His Plan Is Bigger Than Your Plan. His Dream For Your Life Is More Rewarding, More Fulfilling, Better Than You've Ever Dreamed Of. Now Stay Open And Let God Do It His Way.

True Love Turns Words And Feelings Into Actions.

You Were Never Created To Live Depressed, Defeated, Guilty, Condemned, Ashamed Or Unworthy. You Were Created To Be Victorious.

When My Father Died, It Sounds Kind Of Simple But I Just Had The Desire To Step Up And Pastor The Church. It Was What I Was Supposed To Do. I Just Took That Step Of Faith.

When You Are Grateful, That Allows God To Do Great Things In Your Life.

My Belief As A Christian Is When We Receive Christ As Salvation, That That Gives Us A Guarantee For Heaven.

Do All You Can To Make Your Dreams Come True.

Dreams Come True

Again I Think My Gift Is Bringing Hope To Everybody, And I Don't Want Someone To Look At Me And Say, "i Would Listen To Him, I Like What He's Saying, But He's This Or That Politically And That Turns Me Off."

I Believe That All The Churches Are Going To Continue To Grow. I Think Faith In America Is At An All-time High. And I Think As We Continue To Help People And To Change With The Time, To Be Relevant And Practical.

Let's Be The Kind Of People That Do Good For Others Whether We Get Paid Back Or Not, Whether They Say Thank You Or Not.

Saying Thank You

I Just Think That Only God Will Judge A Person's Heart.

Many People Are Unhappy And Are Not Experiencing Life To Its Fullest Because They’ve Closed Their Hearts To Compassion, They Are Motivated By Only What They Want And What They Think They Need. They Rarely Do Anything For Anybody Else Unless They Have An Ulterior Goal In Mind. They Are Self-involved And Self-centered.

When You Serve Others, When You Make Somebody Else’s Life Better, When You Lift Up People, When You Help Heal Those That Are Hurting, Not Only Are They Being Blessed, But You’re Being Blessed.

You Are Not Defined By Your Past. You Are Prepared By Your Past.

When I Used To Play Sports, I'd Be The One Cheering The Team On, 'come On, We Can Beat These Guys!' That's Just In Me.

Nothing In Life Has Happened To You. It's Happened For You. Every Disappointment. Every Wrong. Even Every Closed Door Has Helped Make You Into Who You Are.

No Matter What Comes Your Way, Don't Lose Your Joy.

When People Are Around Us, They Should Leave Better Off Than They Were Previously. Rather Than Feeling Discouraged Or Defeated, People Should Feel Challenged And Inspired After Spending Any Time With You And Me.

You Don't Have To Live Up To Anyone's Expectations, Just Be The Best You Can Be

God Wants Us To Live Consistently, He Wants Us To Enjoy Every Single Day Of Our Lives.

Closed Doors Are A Test Of Our Faith. Keep Moving Forward, Being Your Best, Living With Determination And Faith. When You Do, You'll See Amazing Changes All Around You.

You Will Never Change What You Tolerate.

Marriage Is A Commitment, Not A Feeling.

You Were Created To Make Somebody Else’s Life Better. Somebody Needs Your Smile. They Need Your Love, Your Encouragement & Your Gifts.

You Can't Live A Positive Life Thinking Negative Thoughts. Dwell On The Positive.

I Don't Think You Should Spend Your Life Praying For Things, But I Do Believe You Should Thank God For What He's Given You... But I Think The Scripture Teaches Us That We Can Pray For Our Dreams, Pray For The Big Things... He's Not A Small God; This God Is Incredible.

In Difficult Times, We're Not Supposed To Quit Believing; We're Not Supposed To Quit Growing.

Only God Can Look At Somebody's Heart.

When You Go Through Enough Dark Places, You Don't Complain About Little Things. You Don't Lose Your Joy Because You Got Stuck In Traffic; You Don't Get Offended Because A Coworker Was Rude To You. You've Been Through Too Much To Let That Sour You.

I Like To Take Every Day Just Searching My Own Heart, Making Sure That I'm On Course, And I'm Doing What God Wants Me To Do. I'm Real Good With Not Looking To The Critics And Looking Straight Ahead.

Quit Dwelling On The Negative Things People Have Said About You. You Don’t Have To Have Everyone’s Approval. You Have God’s Approval.

God Can Make Greatness Out Of A Great Mess

If You Never Feel Like Giving Up, Then Your Dreams Are Too Small

God Wants You To Have A Good Life, A Life Filled With Love, Joy, Peace, And Fulfillment. That Doesn’t Mean It Will Always Be Easy, But It Does Mean That It Will Always Be Good.

Stop Focusing On What You Cant Do, Focus On What God Can Do.

Salvation And Christ's Love Is A Gift. You Don't Earn It. You've Got To Receive That Gift. I Think One Of The Most Important Things Is Starting Off The Day Forgiving Others And Forgiving Yourself. You Learn From Your Mistakes, But I Don't Think You Have To Drag Them Back Into Today.

Forgive The People That Hurt You. God Will Pay You Back With Double The Joy...double The Victory.

Your Idea May Not Be Exactly God's Idea, But I Can Promise You This: God's Way Will Be Better Than Your Way.

I'm Trying To Make God More Relevant In Our Society. And I Think Talking In Everyday Terms And Making Sure People Can Understand It - I Think That's Important.

I Think The First Thing To Do Is To Be Aware That You Can Choose What You're Thinking About And That Your Life Is Going Down The Path That You're Thinking.

I Think That Bible Principles Will Help Anybody.

This Is Not The Time To Shrink Back In Fear. Move Forward In Faith. Get Up Every Morning Knowing You Are Gifted.

I'm Going To Let God Be The Judge Of Who Goes To Heaven And Hell.

No Matter What's Happening, Choose To Be Happy. Don't Focus On What's Wrong. Find Something Positive In Your Life. Thank God For The Small Things.

Strive To Make Every Person Feel Special. After All, Every Person You Meet Is Made In The Image Of God.

It Doesnt Matter How Long It’s Been Or How Impossible It Looks, All The Forces Of Darkness Cannot Stop What God Wants To Do.

No Matter How Many Times You Get Knocked Down, Keep Getting Back Up. God Sees Your Resolve. He Sees Your Determination. And When You Do Everything You Can Do, That’s When God Will Step In And Do What You Can’t Do.
