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

As a leader it is your job to protect the missional integrity of the Jesus gathering to which you have been called. It is your responsibility to see to it that the church under your care continues as a gathering of people in process; a place where the curious, the unconvinced, the skeptical, the used-to-believe and the broken, as well as the committed, informed and sold-out come together around Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

As believers, we all have the responsibility to leverage our wealth for kingdom purposes.

Intervention giving is emotional and the results are measurable.

People pray in one direction but they walk in a different direction, and direction always determines where we end up.

Communicators need to figure out how well do they engage people, and they should not talk one word longer than people are engaged.

It isn't about who is 'for' or 'against' you, it's about who you are for.
