He is your friend who pushes you nearer to God.

I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.

Sadly, when pastors choose to neglect controversial issues, they do great damage to the spiritual growth of their congregates. We have generations of young people in our churches who simply believe what the world believes on social and moral issues, and they don't think biblically on these matters.

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.

The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to a higher possession of their own being.

The day people around me stop questioning my character is the day my character begins to grow vulnerable.

I was one of the hardest-hitting conservatives on George W. Bush. Republicans didn't like me on George W. Bush. Republicans still don't like me on many things.
