Top Leadership In Christ Quotes

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Yay Padua-Olmedo

Anyone who is in Christ is strategically positioned to win the most coveted award in this business called life. He doesn't want you playing itty-bitty roles. He wants bright lights in your dressing room, and the spotlight trained on you as you take the center stage. — Yay Padua-Olmedo

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Ellen G. White

Even under false accusation those who are in the right can afford to be calm and considerate. God is acquainted with all that is misunderstood and misinterpreted by men, and we can safely leave our case in His hands. He will as surely vindicate the cause of those who put their trust in Him as He searched out the guilt of Achan. Those who are actuated by the spirit of Christ will possess that charity which suffers long and is kind. — Ellen G. White

Leadership In Christ Quotes By J. Oswald Sanders

Spiritual leadership is the power to change the atmosphere by one's presence, the unconscious influence that makes Christ and spiritual things real to others. — J. Oswald Sanders

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Thomas C. Oden

There are many who occasionally attend church and who are trying experimentally to be Christians, yet are unable to identify well or define accurately the central truths of Christian teaching. The knowledge they have of the Christian tradition may have come chiefly through hymns. Their strong and sincere feelings are not matched with serious biblical or historical reflection on those feelings. Religious feelings are, indeed, crucial to the deeper learning of Christian truth, but they easily become superficial and narcissistic if the mind of Christ is not a mentor to natural religious impulse. The loss of center in Christian education is arguably due to a serious default of pastoral leadership; when the teaching elder does not teach, the effect is felt throughout the entire Christian congregation. — Thomas C. Oden

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

Jesus Christ was the ultimate influencer. My life has been influenced by Jesus more than anyone else. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Daniel Henderson

Our real problem is not the pervasiveness of the darkness but a failure of the light. Light always dispels darkness. The glorious light of the resurrection life of Jesus Christ is still sufficient and available to those who reject self-reliance and return to His plan for biblical leadership. This return can reignite the radiance of the Gospel in transforming power. — Daniel Henderson

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

When you get honest with God, you can exchange the fig leaves you used to cover your sin with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

You have to believe in them now. Christ believed in you when there was nothing to believe in. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Charles S. Stamper

The answer is always "No" until you ask. - Ref James 4:2 — Charles S. Stamper

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Sue Mallory

Senior pastors cannot be those who think they can do everything but are willing to let a few people help them. Rather, they are those who know they can't do everything, don't want to do everything, and are not willing to do everything; they welcome others to come along-side with their gifts in order to form a powerful team for Christ. — Sue Mallory

Leadership In Christ Quotes By April Cassidy

My refusal to follow my husband's God-given leadership hurts the gospel, hurts the name of Christ, and repels unbelievers from finding the real love and real life that is only available in Jesus. — April Cassidy

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Jonathan Reckford

Dave Stark has taken the best of recent marketplace management concepts and married them to timeless biblical principles of leadership, translating business jargon into ministry language. The combination is an encouraging and practical guide to Christ-centered ministry leadership. This book will be helpful to anyone involved in leading a church or serious about modeling servant leadership. — Jonathan Reckford

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Rick Warren

When a human body is out of balance we call that disease ... Likewise, when the body of Christ becomes unbalanced, disease occurs ... Health will occur only when everything is brought back into balance. The task of church leadership is to discover and remove growth-restricting diseases and barriers so that natural, normal growth can occur. — Rick Warren

Leadership In Christ Quotes By John F. MacArthur Jr.

According to Christ, then, the truest kind of leadership demands service, sacrifice, and selflessness. A proud and self-promoting person is not a good leader by Christ's standard, regardless of how much clout he or she might wield. Leaders who look to Christ as their Leader and their supreme model of leadership will have servants' hearts. — John F. MacArthur Jr.

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Russell D. Moore

We need more worship wars, not fewer. What if the war looked like this in your congregation
the young singles petitioning the church to play more of the old classics for the sake of the elderly people, and the elderly people calling on the leadership to contemporize for the sake of the young new believers? This would signal a counting of others more important than ourselves (Phil 2:3), which comes from the spirit of the humiliated, exalted King, Christ (Phil 2:5-11). — Russell D. Moore

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Trevor Ravenscroft

Like some translucen latterday Cassandra, the prophetess of doom, (Heila the Comptesse von Westarp, the former secretary of the Thule Gesellschaff) rose up from the bosom of the limp and slumbering medium (Dr. Nemirovitch-Dantchanko) to give a warning that the man who was even now preparing to assume the leadership of Thule would prove himself to be a false prophet. Assuming total power over the nation, he would be responsible one day for reducing the whole of Germany to rubble and its people to a defeat and moreal degradation hitherto unknown to history. — Trevor Ravenscroft

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Robert L. Millet

I believe the message in the hymn "Rise Up, O Men of God" (Hymns, no. 324) is a plea, a call, a divine invitation for us to rise above the telestial tinsel of our time; to deny ourselves of ungodliness and clothe ourselves in the mantle of holiness; to reach and stretch and grasp for that spiritual direction and sacred empowerment promised to the Lord's agents, to those charged to act in the name of our Principal, Jesus Christ; and to point the way to salvation and deliverance and peace in a world that finds itself enshrouded in darkness, a world that yearns for spiritual leadership. — Robert L. Millet

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Jonah Books

Predestined to a destiny that only Christ can fulfill, all other leadership assures failure. — Jonah Books

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Francis Chan

Christ can come back at any time so the one thing you want to have in your life is a focused prayer time. — Francis Chan

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

80% of the people who come into a Christ-following relationship is because a friend, co-worker, family member or neighbor invited them to church. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By James Mikolajczyk

Unlike temporal leadership, in which violence and death often proliferate, Christ's rule signifies reunion between predator and prey, malefactors and innocents. — James Mikolajczyk

Leadership In Christ Quotes By John Paul Warren

The Church is Christ's witness to the world of a loving savior and His redemptive plan for man. — John Paul Warren

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Craig Olson

Under the leadership of religious professionals, modern worship has become passive - listening to a message and singing some songs. Seldom is there a call to service or an invitation to trust Christ. Baptisms take place inside the church where it is safe and comfortable rather than in public where there is opportunity to give witness to the saving grace of Christ. The great needs of society are left to para-church groups, government agencies, and other social service organizations. All the while the church is losing its muscle tone, its biceps are becoming loose and flabby and its belly is becoming round and soft. Not a pretty picture for one who once was toned and buff - a lean, mean fighting machine. — Craig Olson

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Charles R. Swindoll

Peter's destiny lay along a different path from John's. And your calling is unlike anyone else's. But the call remains the same: Follow Me! — Charles R. Swindoll

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Alan F. Johnson

The evangelical position, represented by the personal stories in this book, including my own, understands that a fully authoritative Bible supports the freedom of women under Christ without male supervision to follow their God-given callings and special gifts of the Spirit, including full leadership ministries. This view can be called the "inclusive" view of ministry — Alan F. Johnson

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Israelmore Ayivor

The best ever spiritual coach you can ever have is Jesus Christ; our model of true leadership! You can do all things through Christ your and my spiritual coach! — Israelmore Ayivor

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Beth Moore

Peace is one of the most obvious earmarks of the authority of Christ. — Beth Moore

Leadership In Christ Quotes By George MacDonald

Sad, indeed, would the whole matter be if the Bible had told us everything God meant us to believe. But herein is the Bible greatly wronged. It nowhere lays claim to be regarded as the Word, the Way, the Truth. The Bible leads us to Jesus, the inexhaustible, the ever-unfolding Revelation of God. It is Christ "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge," not the Bible, save as leading to Him. — George MacDonald

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Philip Lancaster

Let's commit ourselves to act like men - not like the men of our day who are preoccupied with money, with pleasure, with human power, and with selfish and merely temporal concerns. Let us act like men of God. And let's not attempt to be strong in our own strength. Rather let us remember that, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil. 4:13). — Philip Lancaster

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Stephen Neill

Is the leadership of the worldwide church in the hands of men and women who know how to lead others one by one to Jesus Christ? We are so concerned with planning and administration that there is a danger lest we allow these things to serve as an excuse for not doing the one thing on which all else depends. — Stephen Neill

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Max Barry

She's such a bitch," Tina says, which I find a little contradictory, but overall quite true. "She's got to be in charge of everything."
I sit next to her. "Well, I guess. But in business, that's leadership."
Tina stares at me for a second. "I can't believe you consider that a positive trait. How about her inability to accept other points of view? Is it good leadership to be narrow, too?"
"Focus," I say. "They call that focus."
Tina stares at me. "Her paranoia?"
"Business savvy."
"Compulsive need to have everything just how she wants it?"
"Organizational skills."
"Aggressiveness?"
"Aggressiveness," I say, "is already a good thing."
"Jesus Christ," Tina says, her eyebrow ring glinting in the morning sun. "Sometimes I worry about this country. — Max Barry

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Jonah Books

Jesus was always on the front-lines washing dirty feet. Humility soon is shelved in ministry and we start thinking to much of ourselves. It is hard to effectively minister in Christ name when we look down on someone, but if we are washing their feet we look up to them giving them value and worth. — Jonah Books

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

When Jesus Christ forgives you of sin, He never brings it back up. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Israelmore Ayivor

Christ manifests his divine leadership in your sincere followership. Christ's followers become true leaders because Christ is the model of true leadership. — Israelmore Ayivor

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Andy Zaltzman

New Labour leader Ed Miliband announces plan to 'make this party slightly less unelectable by 2015'. He added: 'I am Ed, the Almighty One.'
Defeated brother David Miliband overheard muttering: 'Now I know how Wayne Christ felt after little Jesus came along. — Andy Zaltzman

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Charles R. Swindoll

After Peter came to recognize his own inadequacy, his utter inability to fulfill his destiny apart from obedience to his only true responsibility, he became a rock-solid leader. As his story unfolds in the book of acts, we can clearly see that when Peter kept his eyes on Jesus and followed Him, others followed to. And they followed by the thousands. Needed today: more Peters. — Charles R. Swindoll

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Nikos Kazantzakis

How ought we to love God, Father?" he asked in a whisper.
"By loving men, my son"
"And how ought we to love men?"
"By trying to guide them along the right path"
"And what is the right path?"
"The one that rises"
- Nikos Kazanzakis, Christ Recrucified — Nikos Kazantzakis

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

There is nothing better than to have a highly motivated team of leaders focused on than reaching those far from Christ. And yet statistics and our experience reveal that evangelism entropy can creep deep inside a new church within months of its first public service. The longer we are around new churches the more amazed we are at how quickly these mission-focused, vibrant new churches become old. — Gary Rohrmayer

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Paul Gitwaza

We are weak Christians simply because we have refused to be bondservants of Christ — Paul Gitwaza

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

Apart from Jesus Christ you are spiritually bankrupt. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Mike Foster

Lobbing hand grenades on the bride of Christ takes zero talent or effort. I also think this really ticks God off. My five-year-old child complains and whines when things aren't the way she wants them, but courageous men and women roll up their sleeves and get busy. I want to be an active participant in putting back together the broken pieces. — Mike Foster

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Napoleon Hill

From Christ on down to Edison, the men who have achieved most have been those who met with the most stubborn forms of temporary defeat. This would seem to justify the conclusion that Infinite Intelligence has a plan, or a law, by which it hurdles men over many obstacles before giving them the privilege of leadership or the opportunity to render useful service in a noteworthy fashion. — Napoleon Hill

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Dinesh D'Souza

Christianity enhanced the notion of political and social accountability by providing a new model: that of servant leadership. In ancient Greece and Rome no one would have dreamed of considering political leaders anyone's servants. The job of the leader was to lead. But Christ invented the notion that the way to lead is by serving the needs of others, especially those who are the most needy. — Dinesh D'Souza

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

The most formidable way to lead is to serve. And while the perplexing oxymoron of such a grinding statement absolutely cripples us, it birthed a Savior. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Brennan Manning

Leadership in the church is not entrusted to successful fund raisers, brilliant biblical scholars, administrative geniuses, or spellbinding preachers ... but to those who have been laid waste by a consuming passion for Christ - passionate men and women for whom privilege and power are trivial compared to knowing and loving Jesus. — Brennan Manning

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Leaders must served and not to be served as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, the Saviour. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Billy Graham

As for the world system of evil, we are to be separated from it. This then is our problem: to associate with and love those who are involved in the world without being contaminated, influenced, or swayed by them. This distinction can be achieved only by a close walk with Christ, by constant prayer, and by seeking the Holy Spirit's leadership every hour of the day. We are in the world, but the world is not to be in us. — Billy Graham

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Charles R. Swindoll

Peter must have thought, "Who am I compared to Mr. Faithfulness (John)?" But Jesus clarified the issue. John was responsible for John. Peter was responsible for Peter. And each had only one command to heed: "Follow Me." (John 21:20-22) — Charles R. Swindoll

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Charles R. Swindoll

Let your passion become a passionate pursuit of Me. And as you follow, the sheep will follow.' (John 21:20-22) — Charles R. Swindoll

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Andy Stanley

As a leader it is your job to protect the missional integrity of the Jesus gathering to which you have been called. It is your responsibility to see to it that the church under your care continues as a gathering of people in process; a place where the curious,the unconvinced, the sceptical, the used-to-believe and the broken, as well as the committed, informed and sold-out come together around Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. — Andy Stanley

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Victor Manuel Rivera

The love of Christ always helps us see beyond the faults of others. — Victor Manuel Rivera

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Mike Huckabee

A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. — Mike Huckabee

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Johnny Hunt

The blessing of influence is helping others succeed. It is lifting up Christ with your established platform. — Johnny Hunt

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Bill Hybels

Religion is spelled 'D-O', because it consists of the things people do try to somehow gain God's forgiveness and favor. But the problem is that you never know when you've done enough. But thankfully, Christianity is spelled differently. It's spelled 'D-O-N-E', which means that what we could never for ourselves, Christ has already done for us. To become a real Christian is to humbly receive God's gift of forgiveness and to commit to following His leadership. — Bill Hybels

Leadership In Christ Quotes By Samuel Brengle

It [spiritual authority and leadership] is not won by promotion, but my many prayers and tears. It is attained by confession of sin, and much heart-searching and humbling before God; by self-surrender, a courageous sacrifice of every idol, a bold uncomplaining embrace of the cross, and by eternally looking unto Jesus crucified. It is not gained by seeking great things for ourselves, but like Paul, by counting those things that are gain to us as loss for Christ. This is a great price, but it must be paid by the leader whose power is recognized and felt in heaven, on earth, and in hell. — Samuel Brengle
