“When we are overly concerned with what people think we will be controlled by the thoughts and opinions of other people.”

“If you make a choice in this conference and you stick to it to be an excellent person in everything you do and you stick to it especially to be excellent when nobody is looking and do it not to get a result but to glorify God you’re going to have peace and joy and you’re going to have results. My concern is that if we just do something to get results then we’re not likely to follow things all the way through to the finish, because we get very discouraged, and I think that’s one of the reasons we have such discouragement among people. “Well, I’m doing this, and I expected to get a breakthrough before now.” ….. Well, I think God has to purify our hearts and get us to the point where we are not just doing something right just to get something!”

“We can get excited by thinking about what all we have or can have, OR we can get discouraged by thinking about what all we don't have.”

“Stop determining your worth and value by what other people say. Be determined by what the Word of God (scriptures)says.”

“It is amazing the quality of human beings that are in this world if we can just get past people not dressing the way we want them to dress.”

“If you are a believer married to an unbeliever I want to tell you that the greatest witness that you can be to them is to try to be the same all the time. Don't let the way they act control you. Dave didn't let my actions control him. He stayed happy, and that just made me madder, because unhappy people just want to make other people unhappy, but it finally broke through to me that he's got a stability and a joy and a peace that I did not have.”

“If you accept what people call you, you will start to believe it. Find your identity in Christ, not in what others say.”
