"There are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ."
""What is the greatest surprise you have found about life?" a university student asked me several years ago. "The brevity of it," I replied without hesitation. Time moves so quickly, and no matter who we are or what we have done, the time will come when our lives will be over. As Jesus said, "As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work" (John 9:4)."

"We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?"
"Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day."
"Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys."
"Don't let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door - if we seek it."
"God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice."
