Notable Quotables
"Because the things you are preaching to your own heart are going to come out in what you say from the pulpit. It is going to sneak out one way or another. It's going to come out in the conversations you have one on one with the people in your church. It's also going to come out in the way you lead your team. You're going to lead them in the way you understand that you are being led. So if I understand the mercy and the grace and the victory that Christ has shared with me, I'm going to lead my team, with that kind of mindset, and it's going to create a culture of that in the local church."
Verse of the Day
Philippians 4:8
"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things."
