A thought on Russia (and this is a thought, not a strategy): Attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte: never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

#PreacherWarningSigns #7 You confront “worldly” sins that are sensual in nature and from a distance—but you avoid confronting “churchly” sins like gossip, grumbling, greed, social sameness, and partisanship that are closer to home—for fear of upsetting the sheep.

A key evidence that the Holy Spirit lives in us: a humble, honest willingness to lose face when we could easily save face by spinning the narrative.

Gossip can be compared to pornography in that both seek cheap thrills at another person’s expense, while making zero commitment to the other person. Contrary to love, gossip objectifies and de-personifies. #AGentleAnswerBook

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear... "You can’t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you can’t change people’s minds by utterly refuting their arguments." - Jonathan Haidt Honor and respect are essential to sustainable persuasion.

It is important when you leave an organization that you go with dignity and humility. With grace and godliness. And you leave it better than you found it.

Today, somehow, someway, your weakness will show, so it’s important to remember that the Lord, who is your hope, is not weak now in any way, nor will he ever be.

A pastors ego and the power of the Holy Spirit will not be present in the pulpit at the same time.

Self improvement tip: Forgive others, always. Not just sometimes. That’s what Jesus does for you daily.

The idea that “my truth” *is* truth is not true.

In a hyperindividualist age, committing to church is a revolutionary act.

The Christian life isn't about your ministry—it's about Christ's ministry. He's just letting you help.

There is a vast difference between a prophet and a fault finder. The former pays the price of tough love for speaking out. The latter speaks out (scolds) relatively cost-free, coveting tribal platform over love, reconciliation, peace, and repair. See Simon the sorcerer, Acts 8
