Top Highlights
“This is a positive and energizing message for those leaders who preach to others, who prepare sermons, who study, think, and pray. We need to ask ourselves if those who are standing on the curbsides in our community can see how we love one another. Can they see that in our sermons? Can they see how we love one another through the ministry priorities of our church? Does our behavior create a Christ-honoring relationship bridge, so that the message is felt, tasted, and experienced like good fruit? Demonstrating love for one another will affect a life for eternity.” (Page 114)
“The pastor who does not maintain the strength of his or her personal walk with God will resort to fads and gimmicks and programs.” (Page 20)
“But in addition to public crimes, poor interpersonal skills can also foment depression, anger, resentment, cynicism, and manipulative behavior. When troubled people feel threatened or frustrated with their relationship skills, they cannot think clearly and are more prone to say and do things that they later regret.” (Page 18)
“Church leaders work with five resources: time, people, money, buildings, and equipment” (Page 105)
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” (Page 94)
