“The sooner we learn feelings are fickle, the better off we are.”

“No matter how much we know in any area there are always new things to learn and things we have previously learned that we need to be refreshed in.”

“Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.”

“Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value in God’s eyes.”

“It is not about doing what we feel like. It is about doing what God says.”

“You would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)”

“I always say believe for a bunch, and even if you only get half of it you are better off than believing for a little and getting all of it.”
