A leader enables people to love and honor the role they play in the organization or group they are part of

Spiritual formation in Christ moves us toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his.

Jesus came among us to show and teach the life for which we were made. He came very gently, opened access to the governance of God with him, and set afoot a conspiracy of freedom in truth among human beings. Having overcome death he remains among us. By relying on his word and presence we are enabled to reintegrate the little realm that makes up our life in the infinite rule of God. And that is the eternal kind of life. Caught up in his active rule, our deeds become an element in God’s eternal history. They are what God and we do together, making us part of his life and him a part of ours.

When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, "Now what are we going to do about the darkness?" It's gone!

And the God who hears is also the one who speaks. He has spoken and is still speaking. Humanity remains his project, not its own, and his initiatives are always at work among us.

Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.

I'm practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word.
