quotes
Been doing some half way processing these last few days and going back over notes from conversations, talks and books. Just wanted to share some of the quotes I have come across which have impacted me most.
“ Focus on the invisible so that you can do what seems impossible. Sometimes you can only really see by closing your eyes.” Dave Loveless, pastor,
“ The best leaders make fantastic followers.” Bill Hybels.
“ I am far from convinced that the life of our churches is shaped for mission.” Jonathan Edwards, General Secretary of the Baptist
“ If a church of 200 members is a cat, a church of 500 members is not a bigger cat. It is a totally different animal.” Rick Warren.
“ What do you want to learn next?” Walt Wright, Director of Max dePree Leadership Institute, Fuller Seminary,
“ Be converted and always converting.” Puritan, Thomas Shepherd.
“ Their passion for changing the world derived from a conviction that they could not change themselves.” Gordon McDonald, quoting Scott Turrow.
“ Most Christian leadership is excercised by people who do not know what it is to have healthy intimate relationships and have opted for power and control instead. They are unable to give and receive love.” Henri Nouwen.
“ I see now that the loneliness of God is his strength. What would he be if he listened to all your jealous little councils? Well, my loneliness shall be my strength too; it is better to be alone with God. His friendship will not fail me, nor his counsel, nor his love. In his strength I will dare and dare and dare until I die.”
