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

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

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

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.

Our problem is not too little time, but making better use of the time we have. Each of us has as much time as anyone else.

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.

Ambition that centers on the glory of God and welfare of the church is a mighty force for good.
