Feed your faith, starve your doubts.

My potential is what God gives me - that's His gift to me - what I give back to Him is what I do with that potential.

If churches would take ownership of a vision, the next pastor who is thinking about coming to that church can see what their vision is and then determine if their vision fits with his or her ministry. If it doesn't, then it would be wrong for that pastor to come to that church.

If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win but think you can't it's almost certain you won't. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. A happy person is not a person with a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me.

A leader can give up anything - except final responsibility.

Effective leaders don't gather things just for themselves; they do it in order to give to others.

I think we impress people by our success, but I think we impact them by our failures.
