“I’m learning that ministry is really an overflow of my relationship with Jesus.”
“I’m learning that ministry is really an overflow of my relationship with Jesus.”
"The day we give up the truth—and are afraid to speak the truth—is the day the church dies and society is lost forever.”
“Healing only happens when you are willing to address a wound; pretending it’s not there makes it worse.”
“Developing leaders takes some serious effort and time. You can’t ‘nuke’ leaders; they must be ‘Crock-Potted!’”
“True, sincere love for others can break down any walls. You don’t have to agree with the way people live to love them.”
“I’m realizing that the harder I push and the more I lead, the more their lives are changed. If I wimp out, they will, too.”
"Once we have prayed and know the mind of Christ, we need to stop talking about what we want to do and just go do it.”
“I let the congregation know constantly that they are loved. They get ‘beaten up’ in the world; they don’t need it from the pulpit.”
“Theology should inform ministry, but if it limits whom you minster to, then you have the wrong theology. Just ask Jesus.”
“Our current evangelical approach is becoming less relevant because it makes too many assumptions.”
