Good Wisdom

T-Wax shares some valuable lessons he learned from his childhood pastor. These are great for church leaders as well as others:
  • Love people as they are, rough edges and all, and never, ever give up on them.
  • You do not get what you want in life and ministry; you get what you are - character matters!
  • Learn to calculate what is worth making an issue - learn the difference between convictions and preferences.
  • God called us to build people, not ministries or buildings.
  • Make good friends.
  • The best protection against falling into sin is to practice hating it.
  • Say “thank you” every time and every way you can. A thankful attitude covers a multitude of sins.
  • Always remember - God can get along just fine without you.
