- His primary prayer for them: that their love would flourish.
- Everywhere I go, no matter the circumstances, is a pulpit.
- As long as I'm alive, God has work for me to do.
- Always live in such a way that you are a credit to God's message.
- I should be more concerned with helping others get ahead versus me getting ahead.
- Christians should always be a breath of fresh air in our sin-polluted world.

- We must keep our eyes on the goal of becoming all that God has for us.
- Everyday, all day, I should celebrate God.
