Sin is not just the doing of bad things but the making of good things into ultimate things. It is seeking to establish a sense of self by making something else more central to your significance, purpose & happiness than your relationship to God.

[Patrick Lencioni @patricklencioni]

Most people shouldn't be leaders.

Not because they aren't capable — because they're chasing the wrong things.

Real leadership is responsibility. Sacrifice. Suffering for others.

The question is not "should I be a leader?"

It's "how much am I willing to suffer for others?"

[Patrick Lencioni @patricklencioni]

The most dangerous hire is not the lazy one.

It is not the one who cannot do the job.

It is the one who lacks humility.

They interview well. They say the right things. They often look like the answer.

Hire for authentic humility—it'll save you massive headaches down the road.

“What would you say to a young Christian who is nervous about the future?”

I love @TimKellerNYC’s answer. I think about it every Easter.

If the Gospels are reliable accounts of actual events, Jesus rose from the dead, thus validating what he said about himself and you! Forgiven. Loved. Invited.

One leadership habit I’ve been working on (and giving up for Lent)?

Interrupting people.

Sometimes we jump ahead because we think we’ve figured something out.

But good leadership starts with listening.

Most leadership advice says:

Add more.
Learn more.
Do more.

But sometimes becoming a better leader starts with giving something up.

What should you stop doing as a leader?

It’s not our job as preachers to be inventive or entertaining.

Our primary job is reminding.

The gospel is the greatest story ever told.

It brings dead people to life.

It sets the captives free.

We must remember before we forget.

God is with me.
God is ahead of me.
God is already in the room.

People who attend a house of worship regularly report higher levels of happiness than people who don't.

The differences are often massive.

Among folks born in the 1990s:
22% of never attenders are very happy.
42% of weekly attenders are very happy.

[Gospel in Life @gospelinlife]

The story of Jacob and Esau is a great example of how anger works out in a family situation.

Esau and Jacob were twins, and Esau was the oldest. When their father is fooled into giving Jacob the birthright, Esau can’t get ahold of his anger. We’re told that Esau held a grudge against Jacob and consoled himself with thoughts of killing Jacob. And when Esau’s father does pronounce a blessing on Esau, he predicts that Esau is going to be driven by anger all of his life.

How can you make sure your anger does not imprison and control you? How can you make sure that you control it? This passage in Hebrews gives us some principles: 1) it tells you what anger is, and then, 2) it tells you three ways to handle it.

If Jesus was really, bodily raised from the dead according to the Scriptures, then evil and injustice will be vanquished forever--- and death and suffering banished forever. Everything will be all right.
