Jesus was constantly attacked and criticized by the Pharisees. They viciously condemned his theology, doctrine and lifestyle. Blasphemy was there battle cry against Him. But, have you ever asked "why were they really so worked up?"
I've always lived by the thought, "begin with the end in mind" -- I apply this to many areas of my life (from sermon prep, to ministry focus, to financial planning, to exercise objectives, etc)…

Life is like a hallway with many doors — it's important not to hang out in the hallway for too long — but choose a door. Open it. And, enter whatever’s NEXT!

To the Christian leader, influence isn’t leverage to be exploited… it’s an earned opportunity to gracefully advance, encourage and become!
The best leadership ALWAYS begins and ends with the Lord. That's right, He MUST be Lord (not just Savior). When He's in charge, we are always suited to serve at the highest level.
