"Some churches, for certain, abandon many of the cardinal truths of the faith in their quest to be relevant to the community they serve. But even more churches are woefully unaware of the realities, hope, and pains of those around us. Failure to be true to the doctrines of the Christian faith leads to apostasy. Failure to understand the world in which we live and serve leads to irrelevancy."

What's the most important thing you've learned about business over the years?
"To be a successful businessperson, you've got to have total passion for what you do. You have to think about it not just a couple hours a day, but all the time. It can get very boring for some people, but you've got to have this kind of focus."
- Charles Schwab, CEO of Charles Schwab Corporation as quoted on SmartMoney.com (June 13, 2006)

"Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers."
