If you seek to serve people more than to gain power, you will not only serve people, you will gain influence.

If you have to run away from something that used to be an idol, you're actually still enslaved by it. It's still controlling you.

If we say, 'I believe in Jesus,' but it doesn't affect the way we live, the answer is not that now we need to add hard work to our faith so much as that we haven't truly understood or believed in Jesus at all.

The very fact that we have access to God's attention and presence should concentrate the thoughts and elevate the heart.

Most churches make the mistake of selecting as leaders the confident, the competent, and the successful. But what you most need in a leader is someone who has been broken by the knowledge of his or her sin, and even greater knowledge of Jesus' costly grace

We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry
