“And David shepherded them with integrity of heart, with skillful hands he led them (Psalm 78:72).

“Two simple principles needed for leadership: Integrity of heart . . . Christ-like character. Skillful hands . . . Competence. There is also an attitude implied–that of a shepherd who carefully watches over his flock. A good shepherd loves his sheep. What better example of a good shepherd than Jesus”–Bob Snyder.

“Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He make himself nothing, he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form”–Philippians 2:5-7.

Warren Wiersbe told the story of a successful headhunter. When asked the secret of his success, he responded in this way. “If you want to find out what a worker is really like, don’t give him responsibilities–give him privileges. Most people can handle responsibilities if you pay them enough, but it takes a real leader to handle privileges. A leader will use his privileges to help others  and build the organization; a lesser man will use privileges to promote himself.”

“Outlook determines outcome.”

“Ministry that costs nothing accomplishes nothing”–J.H. Jowett.

“At a religious festival in Brazil, a missionary was going from booth to booth, examining the wares. He saw a sign about one booth: ‘Cheap Crosses.’ He thought, ‘That’s what many Christians are looking for these days–cheap crosses. My Lord’s cross was not cheap. Why should mine be?’ “–Warren Wiersbe.
