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

Do you think God can be trusted? Or do yo think you need to take things into your own hands?

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.

Not the one who knows the most, but the one who loves faithfully and consistently the most, is a true follower of Jesus.

God's extravagant generosity toward us compels us to be extravagantly generous toward others.

We hurt most who we love the most. Bad grammar, painful truth.

Guilt rarely results in positive behavior. But gratitude? Great things flow from a heart of gratitude.
