Remember, at the time God gives us a vision, we never have the resources available to accomplish it. We don't have the people, the money, the knowledge, or the opportunity.

If you don't have the ability to see when to stand up and the conviction to do it, you'll never be an effective leader.

The key to becoming a more efficient leader isn't checking off all the items on your to-do list each day. It's in forming the habit of prioritizing your time so that you are accomplishing your most important goals in an efficient manner.

Many times when people leave churches we think it's a doctrinal issue, but most of the time it's a leadership issue.

Seek people who seek solutions.

You never display your character more clearly than when you speak about the character of others.

Failure is not a one-time event; it's how you deal with life along the way. Until you breathe your last breath, you're still in the process, and there is still time to turn things around for the better.
