Every marriage moves either toward enhancing one another’s glory or toward degrading each other.

If you are a leader, it is not possible to be at peace with all and friends with everyone.

So take seriously the story that God has given you to live. It’s time to read your own life, because your story is the one that could set us all ablaze.

Genuine trust involves allowing another to matter and have an impact in our lives. For that reason, many who hate and do battle with God trust Him more deeply than those whose complacent faith permits an abstract and motionless stance before Him. Those who trust God most are those whose faith permits them to risk wrestling with Him over the deepest questions of life. Good hearts are captured in a divine wrestling match; fearful, doubting hearts stay clear of the mat.

A leader - whether in the home, church, business, community, or government - has authority due to her role, but her positional power will not bring about good for individuals or organizations unless it is backed up by the capital of character.

Healing comes when our story is raw, bone-deep and full of hunger for what only Jesus can offer.

If you lead, you will eventually serve with Judas or Peter.
