Quick Quote

By on Thursday, May 5th, 2011 | No Comments

Thanks Tom Batterson for sharing the following quote from Tom Murphy: “Much current leadership ‘wisdom’ in the church is little more than taking popularized ideas from the marketplace, running them through the baptistery, and validating them with biblical illustrations.

By on Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 | No Comments
