I coach church planters to look at the ethnic diversity of schools and neighborhoods they are near. This will be an indicator how ethnically diverse their congregation can become.

1 Timothy 3 lists only one gift, teaching, then follows w a list of character traits.

It's hard to sin if you're preoccupied with Jesus.

You cannot cast a vision that has not cast a spell over you.

A label is a soul-tattoo that is ingrained deep in our hearts, so much so that it determines how we see ourselves, And how we see ourselves determines how we live... A destructive label leads to a destructive life. There is a soul thief, a dark enemy, who wants to nail ruinous labels to your heart so that he can steal your life. Jesus wants to give you life giving labels that release your potential for the good of the world.

When everything comes from Jesus, it is spiritual insanity to have any form of pride.

God will crush the pride out of us one way or another. He loves us, and His glory, too much not to do it.
