I spent most of last week at the National Religious Broadcasters annual meeting. The keynote address on the last night was delivered by Insight for Living's Chuck Swindoll. Here are some notes from his address.
I should tell people how I feel about them now rather than later. Later seldom comes.
Things I'm not even aware of are being noticed and remembered by others.
Little things mean so much to people.
Being real is a lot better than being religious.
Authenticity will keep you from a lot of problems.
When you fit, things flow. When they don't, they have to be forced. When God is in it, there is a flow. When it has to be forced, it tends to be a mistake.
It doesn't pay to talk anybody into or out of a big decision. Pushing & pulling has big consequences.
Days of maintainence are a lot more in number than days of magnificence.
Most of ministry is just plain hard work.
Some people aren't going to change, no matter what.
I seldom feel sorry for things I did not say.
4 gates to run what we say through:
1. Is it confidential?
2. Is it true?
3. Is it necessary?
4. Is it kind?
Perception overshadows reality.
Time spent with my family is always worth it.
Grace is worth the risk.
Stop saying "never" and "always."
Thinking theologically pays off big time.
Some things are worth the sweat.
You can't beat having fun.
