Your response to opportunities, adversities and calling, determine the type of leader you become.

You can't lead without taking risk.

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

Every arena of life intersects with what's going on in our hearts. Everything passes through on its way to wherever it's going. Everything.

As long as you are carrying a secret, as long as you are trying to ease your conscience by telling God how sorry you are, you are setting yourself up to repeat the past.

We begin selling ourselves on what we want to do rather than what we ought to do. We listen to ourselves until we believe our own lies, and the we opt for happiness.

How you live your life on this side of the grave determines what happens next.
