Your energy and the ability to energize others is more valuable than your time.

You can never underestimate the amount of energy and frequency you must give to vision casting. You can never underestimate it.

The local church is the hope of the world.

Live each day with an open ear toward heaven, eager to respond to any whisper from God.

I would never want to reach out someday with a soft, uncallused hand-a hand never dirtied by serving-and shake the nail-pierced hand of Jesus.

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.

Effective leaders do not fear passion. They welcome it. But from time to time passionate discussions digress into personal attacks, and real people get really hurt. In my view, leaders must head that off before it happens.
