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.

Nothing on earth has greater potential to change lives and carry out His kingdom work in your community, than your local church.There's nothing like the local church when it's working right. Its beauty is indescribable. Its power is breathtaking. Its potential is unlimited. No other organization on earth is like the church. Nothing even comes close.

There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right.

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.

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

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

There isn't a single motivation, thought, act, or word that has slipped out of your being and escaped the full, undivided attention of God.
