People will not follow a leader with moral incongruities for long. Every time you compromise character you compromise leadership. The foundation of firm leadership is character.

Prayerless people cut themselves off from God's prevailing power, and the frequent result is the familiar feeling of being overwhelmed, overrun, beaten down, pushed around, defeated. Surprising numbers of people are willing to settle for lives like that.

The Christian life is one of faith, where we find ourselves routinely overdriving our headlights but knowing it's okay because God is in control and has a purpose behind it.

If I've learned anything about prayer, it's that desperation drives discipline.

You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.

Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.

God delights in pouring his favor on obedient risk takers.
