“People won’t give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.”

If it’s the last thing I do, I will give every ounce of the rest of my life to helping leaders and churches get better.

This is the power and the promise of full-throttle faith, of living a life fueled solely by God.

The Lord’s Prayer is an excellent model, but it was never intended to be a magical incantation to get God’s attention. Jesus gave this prayer as a pattern to suggest the variety of elements that should be included when we pray.

Leadership in church is one of the biggest challenges that the Church is facing because without strong leadership, the church rarely lives out its redemptive potentials.

When you get to the end will God say, “Well done,” or, “What was up with that?”

Leadership is not for the faint of heart

Whatever the capacity for human suffering, the church has a greater capacity for healing and wholeness.

Enjoy every single day you get to lead because it will be over in a blink.

I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

To be developed as a leader, failure must be allowed. Failure only helps us improve.

Jesus took what I deserved so I could get what He deserved.

More than anything, people want the reality of the discussion at hand. If what is going on in that building is the real thing, if the transforming love and power of Jesus Christ is being experienced, you can sit on a metal folding chair or in a plush theater seat.

I remember being young in the 1960s. We had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

Authentic Christians are persons who stand apart from others. Their character seems deeper, their ideas fresher, their spirit softer, their courage greater, their leadership stronger, their concerns wider, their compassion more genuine and their convictions more concrete.

God led Jesus to a cross, not a crown, and yet that cross ultimately proved to be the gateway to freedom and forgiveness for every sinner in the world.

Your culture will only ever be as healthy as the senior leader wants it to be.

A Homeland, A State, A Leader.

It’s absolutely right that we scrutinise the leaders who after all are going to be in a position of great power.

Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, “This is me and the world be damned!” Leaders have always been the ones to stand against the society – Socrates, Christ, Freud, all the way down the line.

We deserve leaders who stand for principal, who unite us all behind shared values, who cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect from everybody.

As a general, and as a leader of this team, whatever I’ve got to do get my guys going I’ll do it every time. If I have to be the bad guy sometime, I’ll guess I’ll take that. That’s what a leader and a general and a chief of police does.

I’m calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea, or as I call him, ‘Kim,’ to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose.

I offer myself as a leader to the people of this country because I think they’re looking for solutions, not lawyers arguing over laws or entertainers throwing out sound bites that draw media attention. We need to solve the problem.

What I’m encouraging President Trump and the Cabinet and congressional leaders to do, is let’s keep our promises. Let’s do what we said we would do, and that’s what each and every one of you can hold all of us accountable for.
