Dealing with the Desert Times and Alliance

Early, early this morning I listened to the final edits of Youth Leader's Coach for December. It's called Dealing with the Desert Times. All I can say is WOW ... hands down one of the top five most powerful, and helpful, messages I've ever heard.

Great quote and thoughts from Alliance's Leadership Team Meeting today...

It's far too easy to be a full-time minister but a part-time follower of Christ.

Jesus made himself of "no reputation". He chose not to claim His rights as God.

What rights did you "choose" to give up last year?

What do you do when you realize you are the most important person in the room? At the Last Supper, Jesus chose to wash people's feet.

"You are not here to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement, You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."
Woodrow Wilson

The best leaders are the ones that see leadership as service to others.
