I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

I don't mind saying, you know, that I don't take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.

You may never get to that perfect world that you're waiting for where everything's going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.

It's amazing how people will give when you don't ask. Many of them send money because they believe in the message.

There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody, I don't get to go to their ballgame, I don't get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.
