The absolute goal of vision for ministry is to glorify God.

These figures emphasize how soft people's commitment to God is. Americans are willing to expend some energy in religious activities such as attending church and reading the Bible, and they are willing to throw some money in the offering basket, but when it comes time to truly establishing their priorities and making a tangible commitment to knowing and loving God, most people stop short.

If you want to have a lasting influence upon the world, you must invest in people's lives; and if you want to maximize that investment, then you must invest in those people while they are young.

True visionaries are never lukewarm.

Nearly 60% of Americans who regularly attend Christian church say there is no such thing as the Holy Spirit—they say the Holy Spirit is just a symbol of God’s power or presence or purity.

Leadership is the art of serving God by helping His people become more like His Son through the indefatigable pursuit of His vision and values.

Jesus didn't die so we could fill auditoriums, he died so that lives could be transformed.
