Whenever I base my identity or worth as a person on my role as a leader, I betray myself and miss God’s best for me. I am not inherently the leader. I am God’s child whom he dearly loves whether people are pleased or angry with my decisions, whether I succeed or fail.
Richard Kriegbaum, Leadership Prayers
My integrity as a person—and as a leader—depends on seeing myself and what I do as God sees them.
Richard Kriegbaum, Leadership Prayers
Leaders do not pray to inform God of what is happening. He already knows. And they do not pray to get him to do what they want. He already wants what is best for everyone involved. Leaders pray to maintain the right relationship with God. From that relationship between the human spirit and the Spirit of God comes the divine perspective, insight, direction, and courage the leader must have to serve well. To keep from blundering into either hubris or despair requires a special sense of vision and balance that comes in a unique way from the Spirit of God through prayer.
Richard Kriegbaum, Leadership Prayers
Thus, the Good News is not only about the incarnation, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. An equally essential part of the Good News is that in this fragmented, divided, and hostile world, the message of forgiveness and reconciliation is to be preached to every racial, linguistic, and cultural group on earth. This says powerfully that we cannot separate mission from the rest of the business of the Church. Mission is what the Church is about; it is fundamental to our identity.
Paul E. Pierson, The Dynamics of Christian Mission: History through a Missiological Perspective, in reference to Luke 24:45-47
Through the cross, the most glorious victory ever has been won; our sin was forgiven through Jesus' suffering and painful death. Therefore, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the question, where is God when it hurts? (which plagues the adherents of finite godism) is answered: God is good and powerful and at work to bring about victory and life, even through what appears at first glance to be nothing more than defeat and death.
Mark Driscoll, On Who Is God?
I daresay that there are a good many fools who can call me a friend and also (a more chastening thought) a good many friends who can call me a fool.
G.K. Chesterton, Autobiography, as quoted in Kevin Belmonte's Defiant Joy: The Remarkable Life & Impact of G.K. Chesterton
