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 have never looked in the eyes of someone who does not matter to God.

Leadership requires a non-stop demand of fortitude from Day 1 to the end.

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.

One of the greatest joys of leadership is assembling and knitting together teams of fantastic people.

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.

Is the ambient noise level of my life low enough for me to hear the whispers of the Lord?
