Fatigue is the price of leadership. Mediocrity is the price of never getting tired.

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.

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

To be a leader in the Church has always required strength and faith beyond the merely human.

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.

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.

Our consciences are not infallible, and they can become warped or weakened if not kept aligned by the infallible Word of God.
