Leaders need to have a ruthless commitment to resolving relational conflict regardless of how bad it feels.

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?

Whenever you see something going well - whenever light begins to chase back the darkness that threatens to engulf our world - look closely. There stands a leader who is holding that candle.

If there is ever a time crying out for courageous leadership, its now.

Most people feel best about themselves when they have given their very best.

Our minds, like the needle in that compass, can focus on a variety of subjects throughout the day. But in the end, when they're left alone to settle, they'll focus on the objects of our greatest affection.
