Gems from the Leadership Summit

I spent the day at a Global Leadership Summit in Everett, WA. listening to a satellite feed from Willow Creek Church in Chicago. There are so many things to process and I am mulling back over many of them tonight. I want to share just a few things that really stood out to me and caused me to pause and reflect tonight. I hope they speak to you. Here we go...

1. "Can we please go find some darkness?" There was a cute story that goes along with this statement that I will not go into, but the fact is that Christians are too slow to get involved in the dark places that they would rather be sheltered from.

2. Breakthrough is never a single occurance, but a process. When we are always looking for the home run, we are really only grasping for something to save the day and probably on the verge of losing.

3. How is the quality of your antenna? Are our antennas in good working order to be able to hear from the Lord when He whispers?

4. Putting in long hours is not the same as being productive. They are totally seperate things.

5. Don't let the devil ride cause eventually he will want to drive! :)

6. There will always be certain tensions/problems in every organization that cannot and should not be solved/resolved, they just have to be managed.


Blessings!
