Craig Groeschel recently said this at Catalyst West:
What's your temperature?
Craig Groeschel recently said this at Catalyst West:
“Lukewarm pastors build lukewarm churches.”
BRILLIANT!Here's my question: If you're lukewarm shouldn't you do something about it?
What scares me: When people don't want to be on fire. When they would say, "I have enough God."
Here's another graphic someone made. I like it. Pretty clever with hot and cold faucets on either side. (It has Lukewarm written in the middle and has Rev. 3:15 underneath)

Rev. Run who was the lead guy Run DMC said something amazing on Twitter and I thought I should share it. If you don't know, Run DMC was one of the pioneers for "Hip Hop"! Not Gangster rap, rap music, or R&B but true "Hip Hop" (music with a message)

This quote from Rev. Run is profound and speaks to something EVERY leader should do:
"A true leader must have the courage to act against an experts advice. Trust ur intuition... I owe my success 2 listenin respectfully 2 many experts, accountants etc and then going my own way! Trust ur gut!
God gives each of us discernment so that we can take the life He's given us and make responsible and God honoring decisions. The first thing that came to mind was Mark Beeson. All the experts would have said, there is no need to put a church in the middle of a cornfield in some dirt road town full of Catholics called Granger, IN....well God knew what He was doing EVEN WHEN the experts thought they were right! (Side note: I'm not condoning his album or anything like that, I just LOVE what he said. It helped me grow as a leader. I'm open and willing to learn from anyone God will speak to me through.)0
This will change your life.
Chew on this a little bit
This will change your life.
"We ought never to bear the burden of sin or of doubt, but there are burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off, He wants us to roll them back on Him. "Cast that He hath given thee upon the Lord." (R.V. marg.) If we undertake work for God and get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility will be overwhelmingly crushing; but if we roll back on God that which He has put upon us, He takes away the sense of responsibility by bringing in the realization of Himself." - Oswald Chambers

Motivation doesn't last...
"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing-that's why we recommend it daily." -Zig Ziglar
Sound familiar? "...give us this day, our daily bread..." (Matt. 6:11) Zig's BRILLIANT at taking Biblical principles and applying them to business. that's why he's "Zig Ziglar" and not some guy who has cool sayings.0
This really challenged me this week:
Is there a 'reckless abandonment' about me?
This really challenged me this week:
"The spiritual saint never believes circumstances to be haphazard, or thinks of his life as secular and sacred; he sees everything he is dumped down in as the means of securing the knowledge of Jesus Christ. There is a reckless abandonment about him." - Oswald Chambers
God I need you. I want to be the kind of man who seeks you with reckless abandon!0
This keeps me going as I see where God wants us to go.
We WILL get there.
This keeps me going as I see where God wants us to go.
"I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land." - Martin Luther King Jr.

What persistence IS
As I'm looking over our goals for this year to see where we're at I cam across this quote:
“Persistence isn’t using the same tactics over and over. That’s just annoying. Persistence is having the same goal over and over.” - Seth Godin on Persistence

From one of the best
This is from one of the best vision casters I've ever heard:
This is something I'm constantly working on but thought it might be helpful to share.“Effective visions provide context, give purpose, and establish meaning. They inspire people to mobilize, to act, to move in the same direction… Every good leader realizes that effective visions cannot be forced upon the masses. Rather they must be set in motion by means of inspiration.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
