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.
