Obeying the Spirit instead of your own self-centered whims will lead you to places you've never been, challenge you in ways you have never been challenged, and invite levels of sacrifice you never dreamed you could make. This is the power and the promise of full-throttle faith, of living a life fueled solely by God.
There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right.
God didn't make you a leader to respond to stuff all day. He made you a leader to move things forward.
I would never want to reach out someday with a soft, uncallused hand-a hand never dirtied by serving-and shake the nail-pierced hand of Jesus.
I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.
One of the greatest joys of leadership is assembling and knitting together teams of fantastic people.
This is the only leadership life I get, my one and only shot at following God the way I feel him prompting me to do so. This isn't some pre-game warm-up. It's the game, and the clock is ticking!
Every single decision you make as a leader has an effect on the spirit of those you lead.
Is the ambient noise level of my life low enough for me to hear the whispers of the Lord?
The only way to motivate people is to live a motivated life in front of them
Everyone wins when a leader gets better
Nothing that matters in this world happens unless leaders lead it.
To be developed as a leader, failure must be allowed. Failure only helps us improve.
Leadership requires a non-stop demand of fortitude from Day 1 to the end.
