1. Live a humble, transparent life.
2. Stay open to correction.
3. Audit your actions regularly.
4. Stay in touch with the real world.
Ministry is about loving people. But you will never develop compassion unless
you are close enough to the grass roots to smell the poverty, lay hands on the
sickness and cry with those who are in pain.
5. Don’t allow people to make you a celebrity.
6. Make family a priority.
7. Live modestly and give extravagantly.
8. Don’t build your own kingdom.
9. Develop keen discernment.
10. Maintain your spiritual passion.
People who experience moral failure almost always
lose their spiritual passion first.

This is an awesome list! Each tip is important, but the one that speaks loudly to me is #9. Spiritual discernment is a key element in my life that I am seeking God for. For many years I made many decisions based on feelings. The bible says that Jesus makes his decisions by the Spirit of Wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:2) I want to get to the next level, where my decisions will not be based on my feelings, rather what God has directed me to do.
