There will be very few occasions when you are absolutely certain about anything. You will consistently be called upon to make decisions with limited information. That being the case, your goal should not be to eliminate uncertainty. Instead, you must develop the art of being clear in the face of uncertainty.
God is a God of systems and predictability and order, and God honors planning.
Greed is not a financial issue. It's a heart issue.
The church wasn't an organization in the first century. They weren't writing checks or buying property. The church has matured and developed over the years. But for some reason, the last thing to change is the structure of leadership.
Uncertainty is not an indication of poor leadership; it underscores the need for leadership.
