The spiritual leader will choose the hidden path of sacrificial service and approval of the Lord over the flamboyant self-advertising of the world.

Jesus was the meeting place of eternity and time, the blending of deity and humanity, the junction of heaven and earth.

True leaders must be willing to suffer for the sake of objectives great enough to demand their wholehearted obedience.

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

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

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 are at this moment as close to God as we really choose to be. True, there are times when we would like to know a deeper intimacy, but when it comes to the point, we are not prepared to pay the price involved.
