One-Line Leadership Principles From Acts
Posted in: TeachingI’ve always loved the subtitles/summaries in italics that occur in our Bibles that separate out the different sections. These little one-liners are sometimes accurate, sometimes they aren’t, but they’re usually helpful and can often teach just as well as any other exegetical deliberation. So I’ve decided it would be a little fun to do one book myself, and what better book to do than Acts? Here we go:
Chapter One
The Spirit is worth waiting for.
Chapter Two
The Gospel pervades all of Scripture.
Chapter Three
Jesus left stuff for us to do.
Chapter Four
Guts takes prayer.

Don’t mess with God’s stuff.
Chapter Six
Focus on what you’re called to do.
Chapter Seven
Preach every sermon as if it’s your last.
Chapter Eight
You never know who’s watching your ministry.
Chapter Nine
Obey God, no matter how silly it seems.
Chapter Ten
God truly has no favorites.

Tell your story, but people may not like it.
