God doesn't want people to do what they think is best: he wants them to do what he knows is best, and no amount of reasoning and intellectualizing will discover that.

When leaders claim that God bypasses their followers and speaks directly to them, they greatly diminish all God does through the lives of believers.Leaders who begrudge people the opportunity to seek God themselves and who do not actively teach their people how to hear God's voice have disqualified themselves as spiritual leaders.

Wouldn't it be a tragedy to get to the top of the ladder and find you placed it against the wrong wall?

If you feel weak, limited, ordinary, you are the best material through which God can work.

To be loved by God is the highest relationship.

You cannot go with God and stay where you are.

We've got to have a deep, intimate relationship with the Father if we're going to lead like Jesus.
