Pastors

"There are many people who think preachers should be poor and humble, using those two words synonymously."

"Don’t be that leader."

"In the United States, we have a lot of angry pastors” who do funny things like “yell at people about grace,” Bill Hybels points out in the following clip.

"Contrary to what we may so desperately desire, all the Scriptures don’t point to us."

"The most important encounter in ministry is not people's encounter with you, but their encounter with Jesus."

You don't have to have the last word.

“This movie by the name of Bad Boys came out…That was the first movie I remember seeing where there were two heroes who look like me and they weren’t playing thugs, or gangsters, or drug dealers, but instead they were playing heroes who were essentially running, gunning, and saving the day."

When we are young, we want positions of power and influence. It’s the nature of youthful zeal and passion—but wisdom must prevail. We cannot run ahead of God.
