If you put your concerns before God, it is a kind of idolatry. You don't have to bow down before a brass idol to be an idolater.

Every problem will yield to facts and faith and prayer. And so, the first step is: what are the facts?

Don't be concerned about who leads or who gets the credit for things, leave all that in God's hands to do as He pleases.

If you would like to have people listen to you, be lovingly and transparently honest with them and be willing to admit your mistakes.

You don't have to tell people they're saved–if they have truly committed themselves to the Savior, they'll know and you'll know because it's real.

How long has it been since I risked anything in my life on the Will of God?

If you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them. It's that simple.

Believe God for a new start, and a new touch, and a new blessing, and a new vision, and a new commission; and He'll give it to you.

The key to renewal; the key to renewal in any given church, or Sunday school class, or youth group, is to share what God is doing in your life.
