To be a leader in the Church has always required strength and faith beyond the merely human.

Before we can conquer the world, we must first conquer the self.

Time lost can never be retrieved. Time cannot be hoarded, only spent well.
J. Oswald Sanders
Image
Leaders who want to show sensitivity should listen often and long and talk short and seldom. Many so-called leaders are too busy to listen. True leaders know that time spent listening is well invested.

Image
There is no such thing as a self made spiritual leader. He is able to influence others spiritually only because the Spirit is able to work in and through him to a greater degree than in those he leads.

A great deal more failure is the result of an excess of caution than of bold experimentation with new ideas. The frontiers of the Kingdom of God were never advanced by men and women of caution.

If Jesus is not God, then there is no Christianity, and we who worship Him are nothing more than idolaters. Conversely, if He is God, those who say He was merely a good man, or even the best of men, are blasphemers. More serious still, if He is not God, then He is a blasphemer in the fullest sense of the word. If He is not God, He is not even good.

Will the leader reflect the ugliness of egotism or the transfigured glory of Christ the Lord?

Our consciences are not infallible, and they can become warped or weakened if not kept aligned by the infallible Word of God.

Image
If the world is to hear the church's voice today, leaders are needed who are authoritative, spiritual, and sacrificial. Sacrificial, because this trait follows the model of Jesus, who gave Himself for the whole world and who calls us to follow in His steps.

If those who hold influence over others fail to lead toward the spiritual uplands, then surely the path to the lowlands will be well worn.

Image
Our problem is not too little time, but making better use of the time we have. Each of us has as much time as anyone else.

Leadership is the ability to recognize the special abilities and limitations of others, combined with the capacity to fit each one into the job where he will do his best.

The secular mind and heart, however gifted and personally charming, has no place in the leadership of the church.

God is always at work, though we cannot see it, preparing people he has chosen for leadership. When the crisis comes, God fits His appointee into the place ordained for him.
