15 Principles to Live by Ron Cottle
1. Successful ministries grow out of a divine connection and an apostolic releasing.
2. Spiritual identity only comes out of spiritual authority.
3. A disciple incarnates the teacher not just the teaching.
4. Criticism doesn’t define who I am; it refines and clarifies who I am.
5. How you deal with criticism determines the quality of your life.
6. Most churches are not struggling because they don’t have good preaching. They are struggling because they don’t have clear vision.

8. Never settle for what you are today; only settle for what you can become tomorrow.
9. Believe now that nothing good is impossible.

12. Hope your potential. Believe your potential. And you will become you potential.
13. A leader must realize that long-term significance is greater than short-term success.
14. Authority minus accountability equals trouble.
