God wants us to practice on Earth what we're going to do forever in eternity.

The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection but credibility. People must be able to trust you.

Many believe one can be a "good Christian" without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.

Worry is really just a form of atheism. Every time you worry, you're acting like an atheist. You're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.

While you're waiting, God's working.

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.

Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
