The strongest men I know are not the loudest. They quietly: - Love their wives. - Lead their children. - Serve their churches. - Repent quickly. - Keep their word. - Obey the Word. - Pray unceasingly. - Fear God.

One tree can start a forest. One smile can begin a friendship. One hand can lift a soul. One word can frame the goal. One candle can wipe out darkness. One laugh can conquer gloom. One hope can raise your spirits. One touch can show you care. One life can make the difference!

The most powerful apology is changed behavior!

Darryl Strawberry says World Series rings, All-Star success and fame still couldn't fill what he calls the "empty void" in his life. The MLB legend shares how his mother's prayers and his wife, Tracy, led him back to church, where he says he found new life through faith in Jesus Christ. "Jesus is the way. All these other ways that we go, we find ourselves in darkness. We find ourselves trying to fill the empty void with all this stuff, and it just does not fill it."

“It’s about your approach. Your approach every day. Don’t give up on your own growth. Don’t allow your mentality to give up on your own growth. Keep fighting for that every step of the way,” Kara Lawson Nobody chooses whether you get better except for you.

Powerful quote that my friend Jessica Rimmer made during a retreat yesterday: "Leading yourself well is your highest form of service to others.”

Every headline eventually becomes history. Every trend eventually dies. Every nation eventually changes. But Christ still reigns. Keep your eyes higher than today's news cycle.

The graveyard is full of people who wished they had taken action on that thing they wanted to do. “It’s too late” has killed more dreams than a lack of talent or intelligence ever will. It’s never too late. The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New career. New standards. New habits. New mindsets. New people. It's never too late. You're never stuck. There are no fixed timelines for reinvention. No age restrictions. No maximum limit. You can change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want. Every time you think it’s too late, it’s probably still early.

Those with a weak mindset create and get distracted by problems that don’t exist. Those with a strong mindset focus on making progress. You choose what you give energy to.

Don't let one hard moment convince you you're having a hard life. One conversation, one email, or one setback doesn't get to define the whole story. Don't let one bad scene ruin the whole movie. Choose perspective. Choose joy.

If you're honest... You didn't get here alone. Someone opened a door. Someone spoke your name. Someone saw potential before there was proof. That wasn't luck. That was belief. The best part? Belief was never meant to stop with you. Who around you needs someone to take a chance on them today?

Heaven won't be filled with "good people." It will be filled with forgiven sinners who repented of their sins and trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

Learn to love the interruptions. Find the fun in the delay, the humor in the challenge, the pleasure in the daily commute. A great deal of life is spent dealing with interruptions and waiting for the conditions to turn. We think, "If I can just get past this, then things will open up." But the interruption is not standing between you and your life. It is your life. Yes, I prefer hassle-free days too. But you'll rarely find a situation that is all bad. There are little pockets of joy folded inside the annoyances we face. There is always fun to be had, if you go looking for it. This is one of the arts of living. It's the art of enjoying the imperfect days. It's the art of making all the moments count.

Your entire life will change when you learn to love what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

Is fasting for everyone? My answer is simple: Yes—but not in every season. Every night while you sleep, you're fasting. Like any healthy habit, start slowly and build over time. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, your body has greater nutritional demands. During those seasons, focus on nourishing yourself and let your overnight fast be enough. Fasting offers incredible physical and spiritual benefits, but wisdom means honoring the season God has you in. *INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. #Fasting #FastingForWomen

There are 5 ways to become rich… but most people will never discover them because nobody taught them.

Warren Buffett on what actually makes a life successful: 1. "if you get to be 65 or 70 and the people you want to love you actually love you, you're a success." i've met very rich men. testimonial dinners. schools named after them. and nobody loves them. their own kids say "he's in the attic." 2. the best investment you'll ever make is in yourself. learn to communicate. on paper and in person. if you can't get your idea across, it's like winking at a girl in the dark. nothing happens. get good at it and you raise your own value 50%. and nobody can ever take it from you. 3. you get one mind and one body. that's the whole deal. say i gave you a car and told you it's the only one you get for the rest of your life. you'd read the manual. keep it in the garage. baby it. you get exactly one body like that. you can't start caring for it at 50. by then it's rusted out. 4. you become whoever you spend your time with. you drift in the direction of the people around you. so pick people better than you. the biggest pick of your life is your spouse. marry someone a little better than you. and hope they don't figure it out too fast. 5. with money, doing nothing beats doing something. a farm or an apartment, you can't sell it tomorrow. so you just hold it. stocks you can sell in a second. so people can't help themselves. but moving your money around isn't smarter than leaving it alone. buy a piece of america and stop touching it.

A great tragedy on judgment day will not just be atheists discovering God exists. It will also be religious people discovering they never knew Christ.

Everything has gone up in price except for salvation. It’s still a free gift, paid for in full by Jesus Christ!
