True Humility

"Failure has a way of humbling us, but we've got to be sure we're experiencing true humility and not just punctured pride. Punctured pride says, 'How could this be happening to me?' while true humility says, 'I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.'"

The Meaning of Life

"Through all of the visitations of life - successes or failures - it is not how well you are known or not known. It is not how big your organization is or isn't. It is not even how many sermons one has preached or books one has written or millions of dollars one has accumulated. It is how well do you know Jesus? That is it."
