Jesus drank a cup of wrath without mercy, that we might drink a cup of mercy without wrath.

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.

It is conceivable that God might have ordained to preach the Gospel directly to man through dreams, visions and revelations. But as a matter of fact, He has not done this; but rather has committed the preaching to man, telling them to go and disciple all nations. The responsibility lies squarely on our shoulders.

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.

Time lost can never be retrieved. Time cannot be hoarded, only spent well.

Jesus drank a cup of wrath without mercy, that we might drink a cup of mercy without wrath.

True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.
