Devoting a little of yourself to everything means committing a great deal of yourself to nothing.

When your memories exceed your dreams, the end is near.

Spiritual maturity is measured in terms of persevering faith, not perfect behavior

At the end of the day, God's love for me, for you, and for the world is settled at the cross.

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.

Your friends will determine the quality and direction of your life.

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