Fear is the opposite of faith. It causes you to see things that aren’t there as though they were.
Leaders set the tone. If you want to know what you’re projecting, look at the tone coming from those who follow you. If you’re a leader that complains all the time, beware. You’re setting an example.
Maturity can be measured in the time between the call and our obedience.
