The original meaning of the word tact referred to the sense of touch (as in 'tactile'), and came to mean skill in dealing with persons or sensitive situations. Tact is defined as: 'intuitive perception, especially a quick and fine perception of what is fit and proper and right.' It alludes to one's ability to conduct delicate negotiations and personal matters in a way that recognizes mutual rights, and yet leads to a harmonious solution.

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

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

Each of us is as full of the Spirit as we really want to be.

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

If those who hold influence over others fail to lead toward the spiritual uplands, then surely the path to the lowlands will be well worn.

If the world is to hear the church's voice today, leaders are needed who are authoritative, spiritual, and sacrificial. Sacrificial, because this trait follows the model of Jesus, who gave Himself for the whole world and who calls us to follow in His steps.
