Every day I will renew my commitment and think about the benefits that come from it.

The church will not stay the same. It will either blossom because someone understands the season the church is in, or it will wither very quickly.

If you don't change the direction you are going, then you're likely to end up where you're heading.

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing.

If you lack initiative, recognize that the problem comes from the inside, not from others. Determine why you hesitate to take action. Does risk scare you? Are you discouraged by past failures? Do you not see the potential that opportunity offers? Find the source of your hesitation, and address it. You won't be able to move forward on the outside until you can move forward on the inside.

A leader's lasting value is measured by succession.

Vision without passion is a picture without possibilities.
