Gas prices this summer have hit over $4 per gallon, and it seems that everyone is appalled and talking about it. But it is interesting that we pay more for bottled water than that. Dasani bottled water from Coke costs at least $1 for 16 ounces. That would be $8 per gallon—for water! Wow! Our thinking sometimes gets skewed, doesn’t it?
It doesn’t just happen with our money, but it also happens with how we spend our time too. The most valuable thing that we have as people is time, yet many times as a leader we run out of it.
I have a card on my desk with a list of questions that Bill Easum says that we should ask about our leadership.
Who will I mentor today?
Instead of what am I going to do today?
Who will I discover?
Instead of what is my job?
How many others can I equip?
Instead of how much I can do?
Who can I equip to go and disciple others?
Instead of who can I disciple today?
The most important question of our time is
What is it about my relationship with Jesus that the world cannot live without knowing ?
