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

True leadership is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you.

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.

Faith never knows where it is being led, or it would not be faith. True faith is content to travel under sealed orders.

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.

Our sense of humor is a gift from God which should be controlled as well as cultivated.

If a man is known by the company he keeps, so also his character is reflected in the books he reads.
