Listen Twice As Much As

If You Are Too Attached To Your Own Thinking And How Everything Is Done Now, Then Nothing Will Change For The Better.

Generally Speaking, There Are Two Kinds Of Learning: Experience, Which Is Gained From Your Own Mistakes, And Wisdom, Which Is Learned From The Mistakes Of Others.

Many Times When People Have A Vision, They Think In Terms Of A Big Vision - I Want To Take My City For Christ. But The Problem With Many Pastors And This Type Of Vision Is This: They Haven't Developed The Strategy To Fulfill That Vision. A Pastor Preaches A Dream Or Vision To His/her People, They Get Excited For A Week, A Month, Or A Couple Of Months, But There Is No Strategy, Planning, Or Process To Fulfill That Vision.

Leaders Who Fail To Lift Others In The Long Run, Fail To Lift Themselves.

If The Church Is Going To Make A Difference, It Will Need To Go Through The "big Give-up" Stage. Churches Will Need To Quit Being Selfish And Become Relevant.
