“Priests without kings chase provision to their own hurt. Kings without priests try to generate vision many times to their own hurt…Today we have churches full of frustrated kings, sitting in pews with their arms folded, listening to frustrated priests who have heard from God but don’t have the money to make it happen…Many good, godly men have destroyed themselves and their ministries when they felt they had to become fundraisers. Once they started chasing money, something twists inside and their message and ministry begin to ring hollow.”
