It talks about being ordinary and doing small things when connecting with others. There were heaps he said that were really thought-provoking. so i'll jot them down lest i forget :)
"preach to serve & serve to preach.
We preach as if we're serving when we use words that carry people's hearts to Jesus rather than just correcting their mistaken beliefs. We preach as if we're serving when we refuse to steer the conversation in a direction that satisfies our own agenda. We preach as if we're serving when we ask more questions that we give answers. We preach as if we're serving when, after someone asks us what we're about, we talk about Jesus in a way that is real and matches their level of receptivity. We preach as if we're serving when our hearts' intention is for the other person to experience Jesus's love and reality, not just hear our beliefs.
And here's the other approach. We serve as if we're preaching when we do things for others, putting their needs ahead of our own. We serve as if we're preaching when we restrain ourselves from verbally clarifying that our real motive is to demonstrate God's love. We serve as if we're preaching by anticipating our missing friends' level of interest and praying behind their backs, asking Jesus to nudge them towards a heartfelt relationship with him."
"When Jesus approached people, he wasn't being evangelistic, he was being Jesus!"
"Finding the people Jesus misses most isn't about boldness, it's about love."
"Most pastors have learned to count the seated rather than the served - we call it church growth"
"Restraint (in conversation) is the highest form of discipline"
"The mission matters more than the method"
