“People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, and obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith.”

Something to Chew On…
Top of Mind Thinking

In March, while at the SEU Leadership Forum, I heard Erwin McManus (a personal fave!) talk about his new dreams and business ventures. This guy inspires me to dream bigger than I can even wrap my mind around.
He said one thing that really messed me up. “Learn to listen to your top of mind ideas.” He went on to explain that most of us have GREAT ideas, yet before we move on them, the rational side of us dismisses them as silly or unattainable.
I’m learning to listen to ideas, then to write them down, and actually move on them. This blog is a direct result of that.
What ideas do you have floating around that you’ve never moved on? What would you do with your life if failure weren’t an option?
Two. (part 2)
“A leader must first walk into his own narrative. If he plunges into his own story, then he will understand better where he refuses to live with faith, hope and love. He will better be able to name how he attempts to make truth serve his own idolatry rather than allowing the lies of his life to be exposed to the searing goodness of God. We lead others to God only to the degree that we are aware of how much we flee him, how little we truly desire him, and yet how God is also the deepest, truest and sweetest desire of our hearts. In the midst of this tension we can live in the truest truth.”
