Tim Keller on How Satisfaction with Jesus Fuels Marriage
Quote
“The simple fact is that only if I love Jesus more than my wife will I be able to serve her needs ahead of my own.

“Hi, we’re here to take your project to places you didn’t imagine. With us on board, your project will now take three times as long. It will cost five times as much. And we will compromise the art and the vision out of it, we will make it reasonable and safe and boring.”
True words from Seth Godin’s blog, and appropriate for church committees too!
