More quotes by J. Oswald Sanders
Faith never knows where it is being led, or it would not be faith. True faith is content to travel under sealed orders.
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
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
One reason why people are unable to understand great Christian classics is that they are trying to understand without any intention of obeying them.

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

True leaders must be willing to suffer for the sake of objectives great enough to demand their wholehearted obedience.
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.

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
The frontiers of the kingdom of God were never advanced by men and women of caution.

The secular mind and heart, however gifted and personally charming, has no place in the leadership of the church.
J. Oswald Sanders
To be a leader in the Church has always required strength and faith beyond the merely human.
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
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
Will the leader reflect the ugliness of egotism or the transfigured glory of Christ the Lord?
J. Oswald Sanders
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.
J. Oswald Sanders
Time lost can never be retrieved. Time cannot be hoarded, only spent well.
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
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.
