If a volunteer can help us with an immediate need, we can put them in a place to make their greatest contribution.

You will never maximize your potential in any area without coaching. It is impossible. You may be good. You may even be better than everyone else. But without outside input you will never be as good as you could be.

Authority does not equal competency.

A leader should never risk their ability to make a difference by making an unnecessary point.

Leaders, if you allow wonder to shut down in you, you will shut it down in everyone around you.

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.

Generosity won't happen unless you make it a priority. The best way to make giving a priority is to make it the very first check you write every month. Before the mortgage. Before groceries or clothing. Before saving. Whatever the amount, do it first.
