Before we can conquer the world, we must first conquer the self.
J. Oswald Sanders
We can lead others only as far along the road as we ourselves have traveled. merely pointing the way is not enough. If we are not walking, then no one can be following, and ware not leading anyone.
J. Oswald Sanders
We are at this moment as close to God as we really choose to be. True, there are times when we would like to know a deeper intimacy, but when it comes to the point, we are not prepared to pay the price involved.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
The man of leadership caliber will work while others waste time, study while others sleep, pray while others play. There will be no place for loose or lazy habits in word or thought, deed or dress. He will observe a soldierly discipline, diet and deportment, so that he may wage a good warfare.
J. Oswald Sanders
Fatigue is the price of leadership. Mediocrity is the price of never getting tired.
J. Oswald Sanders
The spiritual leader will choose the hidden path of sacrificial service and approval of the Lord over the flamboyant self-advertising of the world.
J. Oswald Sanders
The deity of Christ is the key doctrine of the scriptures. Reject it, and the Bible becomes a jumble of words without any unifying theme. Accept it, and the Bible becomes an intelligible and ordered revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
J. Oswald Sanders
Spirituality is not easy to define, but you can tell when it is present. It is the fragrance of the garden of the Lord, the power to change the atmosphere around you, the influence that makes Christ real to others.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
Are you responsibly optimistic? Pessimism and leadership do not mix. Leaders are positively visionary.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
Time lost can never be retrieved. Time cannot be hoarded, only spent well.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
Our consciences are not infallible, and they can become warped or weakened if not kept aligned by the infallible Word of God.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
To be a leader in the Church has always required strength and faith beyond the merely human.
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
It is impossible for a believer, no matter what his experience, to keep right with God if he will not take the trouble to spend time with God. Spend plenty of time with him let other things go, but don't neglect Him.
