Some of the most fruitful and effective leaders are those who quietly and faithfully walk with people over time as patient listeners and encouragers. No big splashes but the ripple effects are huge.

The world worships power and position and prestige. In this value system, the weak and vulnerable mean little. But God sees the weak with the love of a creator, the heart of a father, and the moral commitment of a holy judge. —David Gundersen erlc.com/resource-library/sp…

I just left the retirement party of Dr. Peter Gentry—a world class scholar, a man of godliness and humility, and a Southern Baptist in whom there is no guile.
Godspeed, brother. We will miss you more than you know.

Two things are true:
1) Creativity comes in spurts: The majority of your creative working sessions won't feel productive, which will frustrate you.
2) Creativity rewards the consistent: Most successful creatives sit down to work every day, even when they don't feel inspired.

As we celebrate the resurrection tomorrow, continue to pray for the “D” people. In nine days they will hear of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ...for the first time in their history.

Pastors, how many times have you heard, “I’m so sorry we missed last Sunday—we just couldn’t make it”?
In this episode of Pastors Talk, @JonathanLeeman chats with @MarkDever and @GunnerGundersen about caring for those who don’t feel like going to church. 9marks.org/pastors-talk/epis…

For Easter, we're not letting our current limitations keep us from getting the gospel out.
We're training our church to share their testimonies and then everyone is going to post a video w/ #JesusChangedMyLife.
It might be the most evangelistic day in the history of our church.

“Satan dreads nothing but prayer.
His one concern is to keep the saints from praying.
He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion.
He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.”
― Samuel Chadwick (1860–1932)

If you lead well, you will lead change. If you lead change, you will be criticized. If you can’t take criticisms, don’t lead.
