I don't remember a single classroom lesson she taught, but I very clearly remember the way she made me feel.

You are radiant this evening. You are absolutely breathtaking.

Here's the test—if you can't take your church culture and language and drop it in the middle of a bar or a bus, and have it make winsome sense to the people there, then it's not from Jesus. Because that is exactly what he could do. That's what made him the real deal.

What man is a man who does not make the world better?

Let people feel the weight of who you are, and let them deal with it.

Millions of mind guerrillas Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel.

Let excellence be your brand... When you are excellent, you become unforgettable. Doing the right thing, even when nobody knows you're doing the right thing will always bring the right thing to you.

People of excellence will always be brought before people of influence.

Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.

Excellence means representing the reputation of Christ well. It means doing all things as best as you can...

Consider first, that great or bright infers not excellence.

I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on our part to live it out.
