All ministry that is faithful & eventually fruitful finds its roots in the life, death, & resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God ultimately raises up leaders for one primary reason: His glory. He shows His power in our weakness. He demonstrates His wisdom in our folly. We are all like a turtle on a fence post. If you walk by a fence post and see a turtle on top of it, then you know someone came by and put it there. In the same way, God gives leadership according to His good pleasure.

Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him. If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven.

Worship is the way of life for those entranced by and passionate for the glory of God.

When we join God in his plan for his global glory, we get to be a part of the cosmic take-your-kid-t o-work day.

If you're not confident in the authority of the Scriptures, you will be a slave to what sounds right.

Until Christ is our treasure, any other motivation we have to suffer for him is a fool’s errand.
