"Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God’s means in reliance on God’s power."

___

"Professionalism is not supernatural. The heart of ministry is."

___

"The highest, best, and final good in the good news is God Himself."

___

"Why Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts."

___

"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."

___

"A pastor who feels competent in himself to produce eternal fruit knows neither God nor himself."

___

"Faith unites us to Christ."

___

"The great pressure on us today is to be productive managers. But the need of the church is for prayerful, spiritual poets."

___

"For your own soul and for the life of your church, fight for time to feed your soul with rich reading."

___

"Loving our wives is essential for our ministry. It is ministry."

___

"A cry for help form the heart of a childlike pastor is a sweet praise in the ears of God."

___

"Let us not merely criticize or commend the seminaries. Rather, let us pray for them."

___

"The aims of our ministry are eternal and spiritual."

___

"All pastoral afflictions are graciously designed to make us rely on God and not ourselves."

___

"Brothers, we are leaders, and the burden of change lies most heavily on us. The place to start is our own lives."

___

"God loves us infinitely."
