People are not on a truth quest; they are on a happiness quest. They will continue to attend your church - even if they don't share your beliefs - as long as they find the content engaging and helpful.

What breaks my heart is in the United States hundreds of thousands wake up on a Sunday and church never crosses their mind.

Leaders who carry unresolved guilt are forced to hide a part of themselves from those to whom they are closest. They have a secret. They are forced to expend time and energy to ensure that no one finds them out. They know they are not completely trustworthy. Often they assume no one else is either. Guilty leaders have a difficult time trusting. Consequently, guilty leaders have a difficult time building teams.

Telling someone they're wrong is not the same as leading or inspiring them to do what's right.

It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God

The more successful you are the less accessible you will become.

As leaders, we are never responsible for filling anyone else's cup. Our responsibility is to empty ours.
