I Think The People Already Know What They're Doing Wrong, And I Certainly Believe In Hell. But To Me, When I See Thousands Of People Before Me, It Just Doesn't Come Out Of Me To Say, 'you Guys Are Terrible, And You're Going To Hell.' I'd Rather Say That God Is A God Of Mercy. You've Got To Live An Obedient Life, But For Every Mistake You've Made, There's Mercy There, And I Believe We Can Do Better.

The Prerequisite To Loving Others Is To Love Yourself. If You Don't Have A Healthy Respect For Who You Are, And If You Don't Learn To Accept Yourself Faults And All, You Will Never Be Able To Properly Love Other People.

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.

I Don't Go Down The Road Of Condemning.

That's The Only Way You're Going To Truly Be Free. You Will Be Amazed At What Can Happen In Your Life When You Release All That Poison.

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.

Indeed, It Is As Important To Learn How To Receive A Blessing As It Is To Be Willing To Give One.

You May Never Get To That Perfect World That You're Waiting For Where Everything's Going To Be Perfect And You Got That Much Money And Your House Paid Off.

What You Receive Is Directly Connected To What You Believe

The Truth Is, Somebody Is Always Talking About You, So You Have To Let It Go... If It's Not A Part Of Your God-given Destiny.

I Want Get Across To Not Just The Church World. I Want To Get Outside Those Walls To Everyday People.

Let Go Of The Old, Take Hold Of The New And Believe That 2013 Will Be Your Best Year Yet!

If It’s Not Meeting A Need, Turn It Into A Seed. Remember, We Will Reap What We Sow. When You Do Good For Other People, That’s When God Is Going To Make Sure That His Abundant Blessings Overtake 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.

Before You Leave The House, You Need To Make Up Your Mind That You’re Going To Stay Positive And Enjoy The Day No Matter What Comes Your Way. You Have To Decide Ahead Of Time.

You Need To Associate With People Who Inspire You, People That Challenge You To Raise Higher, People That Make You Better. Don't Waste Your Valuable Time With People That Are Not Adding To Your Growth. Your Destiny Is Too Important.

Your Life Is Too Valuable To Waste Being Distracted.

That's What I Feel Like I'm Called To Do - To Plant A Seed Of Hope In People's Hearts.

Associate With People Of Vision. Be Around Those Who Inspire You And Motivate You To Reach Your Dreams.

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.

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.'

Stay Focused, Ignore The Distractions, And You Will Accomplish Your Goals Much Faster.

Accomplish Your Goals

You Can't Talk Defeat And Expect To Have Victory. You Can't Talk Lack And Expect To Have Abundance. You've Got To Send Your Words Out In The Direction You Want Your Life To Go.

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.

A Lot Of Churches Have Not Moved With The Times.

Your Job Isn't To Judge. - Your Job Isn't To Figure Out If Someone Deserves Something Or Decide Who Is Right Or Wrong. - Your Job Is To Lift The Fallen, Restore The Broken, And Heal The Hurting.

It's Better To Become Who God Created You To Be Than To Try To Promote Yourself To Become Something You're Not.

Stop Living Worried & Discouraged. You Have A Protector, Deliverer & Dream-giver. No Weapon Formed Against You Can Prosper.

Seeds Of Discouragement Cannot Take Root In A Grateful Heart.

I Don't Know What Can Be So Dangerous About Giving People Hope. Causing People To Have Better Relationships. I'm Not Leading Them To Some False God Or Something Like That.

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.

When You Allow What Someone Says Or Does To Upset You, You're Allowing Them To Control You.

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.

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.

Don't Settle In The Land Of Barely Enough. That Is Where You Are, It Is Not Who You Are. That's Your Location, It's Not Your Identity. No Matter What It Looks Like, Have An Abundant Mentality.

If You Can Be A Blessing To Somebody Else, You're Sowing A Seed For God To Help You.

Don't Get Stuck Where You Are, Keep Growing. It's A Decision You Have To Make Because It Is Easy To Get Stuck. Make A Decision To Develop Better Habits, To Have Better Relationships And Just To Keep The Enthusiasm For Life.

Enthusiasm For Life

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

You'll Never Rise Any Higher Than The Way You See Yourself.

If You Spend Your Life Trying To Please People Or Letting Them Control You, You May Make Them Happy, But You'll Miss Your Destiny.

You're Not Responsible For Somebody Else's Happiness. You're Responsible For Your Own Happiness.

Your Time Is Too Valuable, Your Destiny Is Too Great, And Your Future Is Too Bright To Waste A Single Moment. Be A Now Person.

You May Have Had Unfair Things Happen To You, But The Depth Of Your Pain Is An Indication Of The Height Of Your Future.

Be Careful What You Say. You Can Say Something Hurtful In Ten Seconds, But Ten Years Later, The Wounds Are Still There.

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.

I Struggled For A Long Time With Survivin', And No Matter What, You Keep Finding Something To Fight For.

You Cannot Expect Victory And Plan For Defeat.

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.

You Can’t Talk Mediocrity And Expect To Have Victory. You Are Prophesying Your Future. If You Want A Shift To Occur, You’ve Got To Think Positive.

When God Puts Love And Compassion In Your Heart Toward Someone, He’s Offering You An Opportunity To Make A Difference In That Person’s Life. You Must Learn To Follow That Love. Don’t Ignore It. Act On It. Somebody Needs What You Have.

Check Your Spiritual Birth Certificate, You Were Made In The Mighty Image Of God.

If You Have Your Health, If You Have People In Your Life To Love, You Are Blessed. Slow Down And Enjoy The Simple Things In Life.

Why Don't You Start Believing That No Matter What You Have Or Haven't Done, That Your Best Days Are Still Out In Front Of You.

I Think We Use God's Word. I Think The Principles That You Hear Dr. Phil And Some Of Those Others Talk About Many Times Are Right Out Of The Bible.

I Do Think That Religion Has Turned A Lot Of People Off. Part Of It Is Because It Was All About The Rules And Was Political. I Think Now People Have A Hunger For God, They Want To Have A Relationship, But They Don't Want To Be Called Religious. I'm Not Trying To Get Them To Join My Religion, I'm Just Trying To Plant A Seed Of Hope In Their Heart.

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.

You Can Be In The Storm, But Don't Let The Storm Get In You.

I Don't Have All The Answers.

Our Whole Message Is It's Easy To Just Keep Preaching To The Church And People That Already Come.

I'm A Reverend And A Pastor. A Pastor Of The Church. I Go By Usually Pastor.

The Gospel Is Called The Good News. My Message Is A Message Of Hope, That's God's [message] For You.

Message Of Hope

People In Tough Times - It Doesn't Mean They Don't Have A Great Attitude.

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.

Stones Of Judgment, Discouragement Or Doubt May Be Thrown At You. You Can't Stop Them, But You Can Make The Choice To Keep Your Walls Up And Not Let Them Affect You.

What Others Say And Do Cannot Stop You From Fulfilling Your Destiny. Your Destiny Was Handed Down By Almighty God.

If You’ll Dare To Take Your Mind Off Your Troubles, Get Your Mind Off Your Own Needs And, Instead, Seek To Be A Blessing To Other People, God Will Do More For You Than You Could Even Ask Or Think.

I Know What's In My Future Is Greater Than What's In My Past So I Am Pressing Forward In Life.

Forward In Life

If You Will Focus On Meeting Other People’s Needs, God Will Always Make Sure Your Needs Are Supplied. God Will Take Care Of Your Problems For You.

If You’re Controlled By Your Circumstances, Life Is Going To Be A Roller Coaster With Ups And Downs. God Wants You To Be Stable, Consistent, Not Moved By Any Of These Things.

We’ve Got To Give People Room To Have A Bad Day.

Let's Start Affecting Our Whole City, And Maybe We Can Affect The Whole Nation, The Whole World. I'd Like To Affect It With The Fact That God Is A Good God And He's On Your Side And He's Got A Good Plan For You And When You Put Your Hand In His, Great Things Can Happen.

We Have To Realize That Our Lives Could Be Gone In A Moment. There Are No Guarantees That We Will Be Here At This Time Next Year. Learn To Live Each Day To The Fullest. Don't Complain. Don't Focus On What's Wrong. Be Grateful For The Opportunity To Experience Each Day.

If We're Going To Bring Out The Best In People, We, Too, Need To Sow Seeds Of Encouragement.

Keep Honoring God With Your Life, Stay In Peace, Trust His Timing And God Will Open Doors That No Man Can Shut.

Often, Out Of Our Greatest Rejection Comes Our Greatest Direction.

A Merry Heart Is Good Like A Medicine.

When My Dad Founded Our Church, He Used Either A Globe Or A Map Of The World Behind Him. It Was Symbolic Of What Christ Said: To Go Forth And Preach Hope To The World. We Believe In The Cross, But We Just Continued With The Globe.

I Believe The Scripture Says That Being Gay Is A Sin.

Your Problems Are Not There To Defeat You, They Are There To Increase You.

When You Are Tempted To Get Discouraged, Remind Yourself That According To God’s Word, Your Future Is Getting Brighter; You Are On Your Way To A New Level Of Glory. You May Think You’ve Got A Long Way To Go, But You Need To Look Back At How Far You’ve Already Come. You May Not Be Everything You Want To Be But Atleast You Can Thank God That You’re Not What You Used To Be.

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

It's Easy To Get Negative Because You Get Beat Down. You Go Through A Few Disappointments And It's Easy To Stay In That Negative Frame Of Mind. Choosing To Be Positive And Having A Grateful Attitude Is A Whole Cliche, But Your Attitude Is Going To Determine How You're Going To Live Your Life.

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. The Problem With That, Of Course, Is When You Start Something In Your Own Strength And In Your Own Timing, You’re Going To Have To Finish It And Maintain It In Your Own Strength.

If You Want To Know Where You'll Be Five Years From Now, Listen To What You're Saying About Yourself Today.

I Believe God Gives You The Grace To Do What You Need To Do.

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

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