When a plan or strategy fails, people are tempted to assume it was the wrong vision. Plans and strategies can always be changed and improved. But vision doesn't change. Visions are simply refined with time.

The Church is a family expecting guests.

I can't make people fall in love with Jesus, but I can arrange dates.

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

When I count other people's blessings I lose sight of mine.

Acknowledging weakness doesn't make a leader less effective. On the contrary, in most cases it is simply a way of expressing that he understands what everyone else has known for some time. When you acknowledge your weaknesses to the rest of your team, it is never new information.

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