The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

If you choose to do something, attack it. You can hate me, but there’s one thing you can’t say about me – that I didn’t attack it.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God… If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

I’ve been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere.

I have met 18 million youth, and each wants to be unique.

I am rather inclined to silence.

Religion is just mind control.

It’s the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards.

We acquire the strength we have overcome.

Self-talk, for me, has been the biggest thing in my life. A lot of us have a dialogue that is crap. It’s a crappy dialogue. We live in a world right now that is very external. Everything is very on the surface. Superficial. Everything. And what we’re telling ourselves is what we see on TV.

What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

Once you start doing only what you’ve already proven you can do, you’re on the road to death.

Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.

I’m always cast in these strange men… that’s not me, really.

People don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

I used to have a real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I would attend.

I think my vice would be outdoing myself.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

I will praise any man that will praise me.

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?

I went through a lot of battles in high school.

Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

It is always your next move.

I’m mortified to be on the stage, but then again, it’s the only place where I’m happy.

The Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

I have no time to think about other writers. I am too busy with my own problems.

In order to heal others, we first need to heal ourselves. And to heal ourselves, we need to know how to deal with ourselves.

When I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts.

I’ve always had to conquer fear when I’m on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It’s absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I’m okay. It’s like I’m out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body – the wishbone.

Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

I don’t let my religious world get too complicated.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Exceptionally hard decisions can deplete your energy to the point at which you finally cave in. If you mentally crumble and degenerate into negative thinking, you’ll magnify the problem to the point where it can haunt you.

A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.

I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Things do not change; we change.

My message is that God is a good God.

I don’t worry about stress. I create it.

Everyone is different. Everyone has different teams they’ve played on, coaches they’ve played for.

It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

I think whether you’re having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.
