Storms draw something out of us that calm seas don't.
Live each day with an open ear toward heaven, eager to respond to any whisper from God.
If you don't change your schedule, you'll be the same person you've always been.
It's not the things I don't understand about the Bible that bother me; it's the things I understand with perfect clarity and don't comply with that keep me up at night.
People will not follow a leader with moral incongruities for long. Every time you compromise character you compromise leadership. The foundation of firm leadership is character.
Life is too short and the world too compassion-starved for you to keep subsisting in situations that drag you down and curtail your potential to help advance the Kingdom. There's just too much at stake.
The local church is the hope of the world.
Leadership is not for the faint of heart
The best gift you can give a human being is an introduction to a God who loves them.
Jesus is not directing the angelic choir, taking long naps, or doing crossword puzzles. He is completely focused on building his church, the hope of the world.
I can usually sense that a leading is from the Holy Spirit when it calls me to humble myself, serve somebody, encourage somebody or give something away. Very rarely will the evil one lead us to do those kinds of things.
God made you on purpose, for a purpose
Personally, I've never understood inactivity. Why a person would sit when he could soar, be a spectator when he could play, or atrophy when he could develop...is beyond me!
You have never looked in the eyes of someone who does not matter to God.
