John C. Maxwell quotes about
blessed love-is growth
We are so blessed, we get hundreds of emails a day that say, "John, I've worked this plan for one year and I can really see my growth." So what I would love is for readers [of Today Matters] to do that for a year and then email me.
authority
I want to always be viewed by my readers as a friend and not as an authority or an expert.
vision failing strategy
Many pastors fail to see God's vision fulfilled because they never have a strategy for fulfilling that vision.
vision church pastor
Vision is something pastors and churches cannot afford to live without.
vision
When somebody tells you he or she is leading something, a fair question is, "What is your vision?"
vision
Great visions are cast one on one.
vision pastor
As a pastor I reinforced my vision over lunches.
church
The church will not stay the same. It will either blossom because someone understands the season the church is in, or it will wither very quickly.
integrity book writing
I tried to write the book [Today Matters] with integrity and say, health is one of my daily dozen, and I work on it, but I don't have this right.
church
Anytime a church squabbles over minor things you can be certain they do not have a clear picture of what they need to be.
journey kind authority
I would rather be viewed by the reader as I'm just taking a journey with you, and here's what I'm learning, what are you learning? Oh, you do this better than me. Than to be viewed as kind of like an authority.
leader church realizing
It was while I was pastoring that I began to realize that pastors were not growing churches because they didn't understand leadership because they were not trained, adequate leaders.
leader vision
Not everybody who has a vision is a leader, but every leader has a vision.
spiritual song real
There is a real hunger for spiritual things in today's culture; people are seeking something spiritual, something beyond themselves. That's the good news. The bad news is people are not getting it at church because the church is singing songs, preaching messages, doing programs, and taking offerings for itself.
