The second time, if they don’t do it, eventually, it’s no longer their problem. It’s my problem as a leader. We are going to hold people to the highest standards. We’re not going to make excuses. People say, well, you’re supposed to be a church. You must be loving. It’s not loving to let someone do something without excellence. What we’re really trying to do is reach people. So we have high standards.” – Pastor Craig Groeschel (The New York Times best-selling author, the founder and the pastor of the largest protestant church in America with over 100,000 attendees each Sunday, and the founder of the church responsible for creating the YouVersion Bible App that has been downloaded over 350 million times
