Every single decision you make as a leader has an effect on the spirit of those you lead.

You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.

The local church is the hope of the world, and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders.

People won't give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.

The best gift you can give a human being is an introduction to a God who loves them.

We made a mistake. What we should have done when people crossed the line of faith and become Christians, we should have started telling people and teaching people that they have to take responsibility to become 'self feeders.' We should have gotten people, taught people, how to read their bible between service, how to do the spiritual practices much more aggressively on their own.

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.
