The local church is the hope of the world, and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders.

You're a leader. It's your job to keep your passion hot. Do whatever you have to do, read whatever you have to read, go wherever you have to go to stay fired up. And don't apologize to anybody.

It's not the things I don't understand about the Bible that bother me; it's the things I understand with perfect clarity and don't comply with that keep me up at night.

You may well have to simplify to live the life God is inviting you to live.

Simplified living is about more than doing less. It’s being who God called us to be, with a wholehearted, single-minded focus.

Savor every day you have the privilege to lead.

Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.
