We are often so caught up in our activities that we tend to worship our work, work at our play, and play at our worship.

Encouragement is awesome. It (can) actually change the course of another person's day, week, or life.

The secret to responsible trust is acceptance. Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving, knowing that the confinement of the hedge we're in is good and for His glory. Even though what we're enduring may be painful, it's good simply because God Himself has allowed it.

Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.

I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.

If you want to be a person with a large vision, you must cultivate the habit of doing the little things well.

You and I can become so dedicated to the will of God, we can be so driven by a false sense of purpose, that we might inadvertently take matters into our own hands and leave God completely out of the loop.
