“I Believe in Miracles and the Power of the Individual to make a positive difference in the world.”

“The more I look back on my life, the more I see miracles.”

“I do not know why there are more people in the world that dare to be different than there are people who dare to make a difference.”

“All I could really think was how much I wanted to sleep. How much I wanted to be in a different world other than the one I was in.”

“The only group large enough to handle," the world's biggest, "problems is the network of millions of local churches around the world. We have the widest distribution, largest group of volunteers, local credibility, the promises of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the inevitability of history.”

“If you are a member of a small group or class, I urge you to make a group covenant that includes the nine characteristics of biblical fellowship: We will share our true feelings (authenticity), forgive each other (mercy), speak the truth in love (honesty), admit our weaknesses (humility), respect our differences (courtesy), not gossip (confidentiality), and make group a priority (frequency).”

“If I had known it was the end, would I have done it any different?”
