Religion is spelled 'D-O', because it consists of the things people do try to somehow gain God's forgiveness and favor. But the problem is that you never know when you've done enough. But thankfully, Christianity is spelled differently. It's spelled 'D-O-N-E', which means that what we could never for ourselves, Christ has already done for us. To become a real Christian is to humbly receive God's gift of forgiveness and to commit to following His leadership.

If your life is rushing in many directions at once, you are incapable of the kind of deep, unhurried prayer that is vital to the Christian walk.

If you don't change your schedule, you'll be the same person you've always been.

If you lower the ambient noise of your life and listen expectantly for those whispers of God, your ears will hear them. And when you follow their lead, your world will be rocked.

The leader is the organization's top strategist... systematically envisioning the future and specifically mapping out how to get there.

The more varied the environments in which you exercise your leadership gift, the stronger that gift will become. You will become a far more effective leader.

Life's great moments evolve from simples acts of cooperation with God's mysterious promptings.
