I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
You can have Jesus in your spirit and have an outrageous mess in your soul, and if you don't know what that's called, it's called religion.
We suffer much agony because we try to get from people what only God can give us, which is a sense of worth and value. Look to God for what you need, not to people.
Faith is having a positive attitude about what you can do and not worrying at all about what you can't do.
Peter was the only one who walked on water besides Jesus, but he was also the only one who got out of the boat. Until you make a decision to believe, and then act on it, nothing will happen.
When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He's done. . . is doing. . . and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don't let yourself ever get used to it. . . stay amazed!
If you look at your circumstances you will put off doing what God is telling you to do. It can seem like the worst time to do whatever God says to do. BUT there is an anointing on "now" if God has told you to act.
The Eternal Kansas City song came from a dream sequence. It was actually kind of weird. I had this dream about a Kansas City type of thing while I was up at Stevie Winwood's place near Cheltenham, in Britain. I went into this small town and I was walking along and this dream thing was still in my head.
I am more at peace than I've ever known myself to be. My connectedness to the world is more intense. I am more attentive to the humanity around me.
I'm even flattered! It's what success is like. I'm happy I seem unreal to them, it means I'm doing a good job.
I am not now, nor will I ever be, a candidate for offensive coordinator of Iowa.
