So I decided to start a church, for three reasons. First, I hated going to church and wanted one I liked, so I thought I would just start my own.

I have noticed that people tend to stop maturing when they start self-medicating. Everyone has very tough seasons of life, but by persevering through them we have an opportunity to mature and grow as people. Those who self-medicate...often thwart maturity as they escape the tough seasons of life rather than face them.

You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.

Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
