When I had something I thought God was talking to me about, the first thing I did, before I ever talked to the congregation, was to sit down with the major influencers of the church and share with them what I thought God was speaking to me. I gave them time for input or questions. Many times they would ask questions and I would reply, "I need to spend more time on this. I'm not sure I'm thinking clearly there." Other times they added value and helped make this vision better or more accessible to the people.

What I did in the book [Today Matters] is I tried to help a person make their day - every day - their masterpiece.

The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.

The size of your miracle depends on the size of your problem.

The dream is free...but the journey will cost you something.

To do something really big, let go of your ego, and get ready to be part of a team.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.
