Early in my ministry, I sat next to Frank at a generosity event. We were asked to pretend that we had just been given $100,000, and to make a list of charities and the amounts we would support.
After looking at my list, Frank noted, “Rick, you didn’t list the ministry you lead.” Frank continued, “Could it be that you consider it your ministry rather than God’s?”
Frank nailed it. He encouraged me to write a personal check to UBN monthly.
I still follow Frank’s advice to this day.
Ephesians 4:25 teaches, “Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.”
Frank was a kind and gentle truth teller that helped make me a better leader.
