The visionary who is serving God ceases to live for personal ambitions, but rather for God's ambitions.

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

True visionaries are never lukewarm.

We cannot be effective if we continue to cling to the old ways, the old strategies, the old assumptions.

When we're always connected, we allow others-colleagu es and celebrities, close friends and distant acquaintances, bloggers and news aggregators-set our life's agenda. Our ability to prioritize is paralyzed by the sheer volume of requests, demands, opportunities, and information.

It is not a church’s job to spiritually develop your children. Scripturally, it is the job of the parents. The church body is supposed to support parents in raising children, not replace them.

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.
