2. Family comes before ministry.


3. Open the Word daily to walk with God wholly.


4. It’s a spiritual crime to preach boring sermons.


5. What God owns God protects.


6. Discipleship is a community project.


7. The business of the church is to move people into maturity.

10. Influence increases with visibility.
