Whatever the capacity for human suffering, the church has a greater capacity for healing and wholeness.

Legacy leaders are the only ones wiling to pay the price to fix a broken culture.

Authentic Christians are persons who stand apart from others. Their character seems deeper, their ideas fresher, their spirit softer, their courage greater, their leadership stronger, their concerns wider, their compassion more genuine and their convictions more concrete.

Nothing that matters in this world happens unless leaders lead it.

The mark of community is not the absence of conflict. It's the presence of a reconciling spirit.

Leaders, your God-given job is not merely to preside over something, not to pontificate to your underlings how smart you are, not merely to preserve something from its gradual demise; it's to figure out what God wants to get done in this world, figure out what role you play in that, and then to move something or someone from here to there.

If you are too busy or too proud to pray with your children, you are too busy and too proud.
