The difference between something good and something great
is attention to detail.
I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be
phony. We've got to keep it real.
A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven.
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating
than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a
matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming
our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact
of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become
that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in
our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your
attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
The world has changed and it's going to keep changing,
but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.
We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and
what we believe.
Alleged 'impossibilities' are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.
I have no interest in returning to yesteryear. I love the
conveniences and delights of today's time. I wouldn't go back if I could.
When you have a sense of calling, whether it's to be a
musician, soloist, artist, in one of the technical fields, or a plumber, there
is something deep and enriching when you realize it isn't just a casual choice,
it's a divine calling. It's not limited to vocational Christian service by any
means.
When you are giving people the gospel, you are giving
them something to believe, and you have to set the stage for that. You don't
just drive up and dump the truck and drive off.
