I believe we're going to grow in heaven. I believe we're going to keep growing. The Bible says one day we shall see Him as He is, we shall become like Him. That's going to be obviously, becoming not gods, I don't believe that, that's the oldest lie in the Scripture, but becoming godly, becoming like Him.

You can only make a difference by being different.

Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.

Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.

Maturity is when you live your life by your commitments, not by your feelings.

Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.

When real revival happens, it changes the moral climate of a community...because we've turned from our wicked ways.
