The goal is glorifying God by drawing circles around the promises, miracles, and dreams He wants for you.

Don't wait to worship God until you get to the Promised Land; you've got to worship along the way.

Over the years I've grown more comfortable with making people uncomfortable because that is when growth can happen. You need a little conflict. You need a little tension. And that is part of my calling. A little tough love goes a long way!

If we do the ordinary, God will add an extra to it.

One of the truest tests of spiritual maturity is seeing the miraculous in the monotonous.

SUCCESS is not about HERE and NOW. you must pass the TEST OF TIME. the litmus test is FIFTY YEARS from now. SUCCESS is SUCCESSION.

I think a pastor used to be viewed as the one-stop ministry shop. The pastor served on every committee, volunteered at every event, and made all the hospital visits. I think that is changing and I think that is healthy. Both for the pastor and the congregation.
