Patience is a form of faith. It says, "I trust God. I believe that God is bigger than this problem."

One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, "So that's why God allowed that in my life!" Until then, God wants you to trust him.

The very first task of leadership is to set the vision for the organization. If you don't set the vision, you're not the leader.

In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.

To me, heaven is a real place. I don't believe it's a state of being.

Christlikeness is your eventual destination, but your journey will last a lifetime.

God never does anything accidentally.
