Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

I look at tens of thousands of church leaders who still do need a bit of an awakening.

Visionary people face the same problems everyone else faces; but rather than get paralyzed by their problems, visionaries immediately commit themselves to finding a solution.

Those churches have closed down or have been merged with a church that has a more positive vision.

It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.

God wants to father all of us until we're dead sure of his approval, his guiding power and his promise of heaven.

I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

More than anything, people want the reality of the discussion at hand. If what is going on in that building is the real thing, if the transforming love and power of Jesus Christ is being experienced, you can sit on a metal folding chair or in a plush theater seat.

He's dangerous because when God talks to him Bob will do whatever God asks him to do at great cost, even if no one agrees, if it's contrary to the way the stream is going, if Bob feels God is in it he will do it.

The real deal is always going to win in the end.

Dignity does not float down from heaven it cannot be purchased nor manufactured. It is a reward reserved for those who labor with diligence.

Adoration in prayer reminds us of God's identity and inclination. As we list his attributes, lifting up his character and personality, we reinforce our understanding of who he is.

Adoration in prayer purges our spirit and prepares us to listen to God.

Vision is the most powerful weapon in the leader's arsenal.

Enjoy every single day you get to lead because it will be over in a blink.

Coaching is the most important servant leadership element in helping people accomplish their goals.

Its incredible to realize that what we do each day has meaning in the big picture of Gods plan.

Self awareness allows you to self correct.

Storms draw something out of us that calm seas don't.

The workaholic maintains a frantic schedule. He is consistently preoccupied with performance. He finds it difficult to refuse additional responsibilities. He is unable to relax. If someone you know exhibits these characteristics, he or she is probably a workaholic.

Of course, conservatives always claim to be against judicial activism.

My ministry's always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels involved in the social order.

Activism could be defined as activities engaged in by individuals to change there of others situation.

Our aims in political activism are not, and should not be, to create a perfect utopia.

My pro-choice activism keeps me busy.

What drew me to both study and activism was the formative experience of the civil rights movement.

It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.

"Empathy" is the latest code word for liberal activism, for treating the Constitution as malleable clay to be kneaded and molded in whatever form justices want. It represents an expansive view of the judiciary in which courts create policy that couldn't pass the legislative branch or, if it did, would generate voter backlash.

Traditionalists will have to master techniques of sustained activism formerly monopolized by the left.

My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.

Our Parliamentary system has simply failed to meet the challenge of judicial activism.

It was Dr. King's tireless activism that fostered our modern way of relating to one another.

But as for activism, my parents did what they could, given the constraints, but were never involved in the causes I think of when I think of activists.

There's enormous progressive activism and, more often than not, success at the grassroots level - everything from living wage campaigns to efforts to finance our elections are having terrific success.

So the danger of conservative judicial activism has been averted for another year. Stay tuned.

I guess because the shows were activist in their own way - the marriage of my public activism and my career activism, you know - people understand me very well. They also understand there's a very strong bipartisan part in all of this.

Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.

When you stop and look at so much of the kind of activism that has been triggered, the Tea Party and the like, as a result of Obama's efforts - TARP, the stimulus package, and now the health care reform - there is a lot of sense this government is changing.

Shareholder activism is not a privilege - it is a right and a responsibility. When we invest in a company, we own part of that company and we are partly responsible for how that company progresses. If we believe there is something going wrong with the company, then we, as shareholders, must become active and vocal.

Out of control judicial activism threatens traditional marriage in America.
