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.

People of vision gauge decisions on the future; the story of the past cannot be rewritten.

The spiritual leader should outpace the rest of the church, above all, in prayer.

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

An exhausted man easily falls prey to the adversary.

Often truly authoritative leadership falls on someone who years earlier dedicated themselves to practice the discipline of seeking first the kingdom of God. Then, as that person matures, God confers a leadership role, and the Spirit of God goes to work through him.

Faith enables the believing soul to treat the future as present and the invisible as seen.
