If the Old and New Testament teach us anything, they teach us that nothing is too difficult for God. What he originates, he orchestrates.
Past boldness is no assurance of future boldness. Boldness demands continual reliance on God's spirit.
Courage is essential to leadership.
Uncertainty in a leader is always magnified in the heart of the follower.
You can't lead without taking risk.
If it suddenly became impossible for us to cover up all the junk we normally hide from the rest of humanity, I have a feeling we would all get real motivated to deal with the source of what ails us.
