The issue is: how do you engage the audience? And one of the things I talk to our communicators about is: The outline is great; the stories are great. But how do you engage them? How do you make it feel like we are on a journey, not you are just up there giving me information.

The great challenge is how to marry creativity with discipline so that discipline amplifies creativity without destroying it.

Most of us are married to a model of ministry and we flirt with the Great Commission.

There is something insincere about a man or woman who repeatedly tells God how much he or she loves Him while refusing to obey Him.

Leaders who carry unresolved guilt are forced to hide a part of themselves from those to whom they are closest. They have a secret. They are forced to expend time and energy to ensure that no one finds them out. They know they are not completely trustworthy. Often they assume no one else is either. Guilty leaders have a difficult time trusting. Consequently, guilty leaders have a difficult time building teams.

There are many things I can do, but I have to narrow it down to the one thing I must do. The secret of concentration is elimination.

If you capture someone's heart, you will eventually get his hands and feet as well.
