I always try to remember that I am a work in progress. It is life's journey that matters and the turns I take will determine how much progress I make. You see, I am unique in my gifts and the purpose I was created for. When I get to heaven at the end of my journey, I will not be asked what gifts He gave me, but what I did with them. Each one of us is a work in progress, with a mission and purpose to fulfill that is uniquely ours. Keep that in mind as you journey, won't you?

For leaders to be effective, they need to connect with people.

There are pockets of the church that will "give up," and reap a bountiful harvest. They are going to have huge success, like the church has never experienced since the Book of Acts.

Leadership deals with people and their dynamics, which are continually changing. The challenge of leadership is to create change and facilitate growth.

The only one you should compare yourself to is you. Your mission is to become better today than you were yesterday.

Always turn to God in the midst of your struggle and view people who offended you as an instruments of divine sovereignty.

If a person doesn't govern his temper, his temper will govern him.
