Looking back, I am reminded that effective leadership is not in all the responsibilities or tasks we have, but rather in how well we develop the processes needed to accomplish them with excellence. We often lose sight of the fact that leadership, at its most basic level, involves the leading of people.

His ambition was to share Christ’s gospel with those who needed it most—nothing more, nothing less.

We as parents have an obligation to teach our children, in the midst of a culture that is confused, to have confident values that are based on both a Christian worldview and the teachings of the scriptures.

As shocking as this may be, the death of a church might be the best thing that could happen for the sake of the gospel within a given community.

Numerically, smaller churches dominate U.S. life. They should also be key parts of the mission.

Grow an oak, not a mushroom.

You, as the pastor, are not ultimately responsible for the church.

This is a problem we all must address.

Having diverse leadership, first, gives us the opportunity to experience more of what we will experience in eternity.

At the end of the day, no packed schedule or professional pursuit should get in the way of our willingness to obey the Great Commission and see people trust in Jesus.
