A leader is someone who has the courage to say publicly what everybody else is whispering privately. It is not his insight that sets the leader apart from the crowd. It is his courage to act and speak up when everyone else is silent....are those who would rather challenge what needs to change and pay the price than remain silent and die on the inside.

God, I want what you want more than I want what I want.

If you're not looking forward to church this morning perhaps it's time to look for a church.

Something I've noticed. Church planters don't pray for revival. They pray for opportunity, favor with the unchurched and leaders.

Me and Sandra are thoroughly satisfied customers as parents of kids who came through this Orange model.

As you give to fund God's needs, are you forced to trust Him to provide for yours? That's what a growing faith is about. And over the long haul, it's not enough just to commit to a percentage. Growth means reviewing your giving goals and occasionally increasing the percentage you give.

Where there's no progress, there's no growth. If there's no growth, there's no life. Environments void of change are eventually void of life.
