A close look at many churches will reveal that a central problem is the lack of biblical maturity among the men.

In the end, an impatience with the Word of God can be explained only by an impatience with God. We all, both individually and congregationally, neglect God's Word to our own ruin.

You have no idea, right now, what some young person in your church will mean for the cause of Christ. Lean in, encourage, mentor, think big.

The problem with Prosperity Theology is not that it promises too much, but that it aims for so little. What God promises us in Christ is far above anything that can be measured in earthly wealth - and believers are not promised earthly wealth nor the gift of health.

Passionate leaders driven by passionate beliefs draw passionate followers.

This generation must know that the total truthfulness of the bible is under continual assault.

Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.
