God prepares leaders with a specific place and task in mind. Training methods are adapted to the mission, and natural and spiritual gifts are given with clear purpose.

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

There is no conceivable situation in which it is not safe to trust God.

Once the joy of intimacy with God has been experienced, life becomes unbearable without it.

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

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.

If you would rather pick a fight than solve a problem, do not consider leading the church
