Mark Batterson has a great post on the topic of courage (click here to read it).
A quote worth remembering: The essence of spiritual courage is being more afraid of offending the Holy Spirit than pleasing people!
Mark is going to be one of the speakers at the churchplanters.com conference!

The essence of spiritual courage is being more afraid of offending the Holy Spirit than pleasing people!
I walk that (very thin) line…daily.
Yet, I also struggle with it, as I don’t want to be offensive either. I find that every day I ask God to help me to love better. Love him first, then love the people that aren’t pleased with me.
Good quote.
