Ministry Leadership Quotes By Onyi Anyado

Yes, it's important to inspire the next generation but let's not forget to inspire the now generation too. — Onyi Anyado

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Eugene H. Peterson

There is a long and well-documented tradition of wisdom in the Christian faith that any venture into leadership, whether by laity or clergy, is hazardous. it is necessary that there be leaders, but woe to those who become leaders. — Eugene H. Peterson

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Eugene H. Peterson

Deception is nowhere more common than in religion. And the persons most easily and damningly deceived are the leaders. Those who deceive others are first themselves deceived, for not many, I think, begin with evil intent. The devil, after all, is a spiritual being. His usual mode of temptation is not an obvious evil but to an apparent good. The commonest forms of devil-inspired worship do not take place furtively at black masses with decapitated cats but flourish under the bright lights of acclaim and glory, in a swirl of organ music. — Eugene H. Peterson

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Johnny Hunt

As a pastor our main ministry is exhortation. — Johnny Hunt

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Katherine J. Walden

You can take the minister out of the pulpit, but you can't take the ministry out of the minister. — Katherine J. Walden

Ministry Leadership 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

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Alan Hirsch

All apostolic ministry in some sense involves this return to the founding message as well as purpose. The missional task that follows is to reinterpret it radically into various contexts. To use the words of leadership gurus Jim Collins and Jerry Porras, the key to dynamic entrepreneurialism is to "preserve the core and stimulate progress."15 Thus, there is both a continuity and a discontinuity in the revitalization process, involving both a conservative dimension and a radical one. Radical traditionalism involves a rediscovery of the founder's vision, but it must be matched with spectacular innovations that are as yet undreamed of.16 As such, it is the apostolic intrapreneur's (the Petrine apostle) basic method of renewal. — Alan Hirsch

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Father, help me focus on my strengths and trust others to fill the gaps of my weaknesses"

Every leader knows the skills in which they excel. They also are aware of those tasks that they maintain a certain level of competence along with those duties they struggle in accomplishing. In my experience there are "want to's" and the "have to's" of leadership. The "want to's" energize a leader and the "have to's" zap the leader's creativity and time. The quicker a leader can find those around them that will fill the gaps of their weaknesses, the more effective they will be in achieving God's mission. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino

We can't throw endless tantrums and expect people to want what we have to offer spiritually. We can't handle spiritual matters as if everyone, including us, is stupid and hope they will take the bait. We can't attempt to bully people into the Gospel and think it's going to fly. These have been the methods used for many years in our modern times and they are simply not working. — Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Daniel Henderson

The prayer level of a church never rises any higher than the personal example and passion of the leaders. The quantity and quality of prayer in leadership meetings is the essential indicator of the amount of prayer that will eventually arise among the congregation. — Daniel Henderson

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Vision is capturing God's assignment — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

When a leader is at their limit the last thing they want to hear is that they need to change even more. Maintaining good rhythms of rest, exercise and fun create more energy for a leader to be willing and open for change. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Jonathan Reckford

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

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Mark A. Searby

Ministry leadership in the twenty-first century is difficult enough when the leader maintains appropriate boundaries that flow out of personal understanding of the biblical teaching about leaders. It can be impossible if one allows others in the church, or society in general, to determine the priorities of time and commitment. — Mark A. Searby

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Thomas C. Oden

His [brother in law Jim Hampson] appointment to the Episcopal parish in Wenham, near Gordon College brought them in close touch with leading evangelical faculty members in their pews and church leadership, including Elizabeth Elliot and Addison Leitch. They were instrumental in drawing Jim and and Sarah into the cutting edge of evangelical intellectual leadership, with friendships with Tom Howard and J.I. Packer. My ongoing relationship with Jim Packer, FitzSimons Allison and many other brilliant Anglican evangelicals would not have happened without Jim Hampson. His early influence on me in my transition from modern to classic Christian teaching was immense. While I was trying to demythologize Scripture, he was taking its plain meaning seriously. His strong preaching led him to become one of the founding sponsors and supporters of Trinity School of Ministry in Abridge, Pennsylvania ... — Thomas C. Oden

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Great leaders are teachable leaders. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By John Paul Warren

We have created a culture of leadership "development" in the Church at the expense of ignore the ministry of the Church to making disciples. — John Paul Warren

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Martin Robinson

A missionary church cannot rely on the professional ministry for the primary work of mission. The role of the laity is critical because it is the lay members of the church who have the greatest contact with those who are outside of the normal structures of church life. In such a situation the task of clergy is not so much to engage in mission themselves, as to support the laity in their mission. — Martin Robinson

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Sunday Adelaja

The most important task that every pastor has is to get all his church members involved in some kind of ministry. That should be one of his main priorities. 3 — Sunday Adelaja

Ministry Leadership Quotes By John Paul Warren

True leaders bring out your personal best. They ignite your human potential. — John Paul Warren

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Edmund P. Clowney

Seminary is for men who are seriously considering the ministry; it is a place where a man may test his gifts and calling in the service of the Word...Uncertainty about a call to the ministry may indicate with certainty a call to theological training. Even when God does not call a man to pastoral work, he often leads through seminary study to other ministries of teaching and to informed leadership in the work of the church. — Edmund P. Clowney

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Barbara W. Tuchman

The author says one patrician English leader saw his relationship with the populace thusly: He wasn't responsible TO them. He was responsible FOR them. He was responsible for their care. — Barbara W. Tuchman

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Sarah Bessey

I think you have a great women's ministry when the women of your community fall wildly in love with Jesus. Church ladies like this are the overflow of women who are empowered to lead, to challenge, to seek justice and love mercy, to follow Jesus to the ends of the earth like our church mothers and fathers of the past.
You have a great women's ministry when there is room for everyone. You have a great women's ministry when you have detoxed from the world's views and unattainable standards for women and begun to celebrate the everyday women of valor, sitting next to you, and when you encourage, affirm, and welcome the diversity of women
their lives, their voices, their experiences
to the community.
You have a great women's ministry when your women are ministering
to the world, to the church, to one another
pouring out freely the grace they have received, however God has gifted them, including cooking and crafts, strategy and leadership. — Sarah Bessey

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Ross Parsley

Many churches approach ministry to people through the lens of an educational system instead of through the analogy of the family. — Ross Parsley

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Missional leaders are comfortable in the own skin. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Paul Borthwick

We completed meetings with leaders from over a dozen ministries over a ten-day period. Toward the end of our journey, we asked our Sri Lankan host for his feedback. After about the fourth day, he had become convinced that we were actually there to listen, so his feedback was honest. He said (and I'm paraphrasing):
Paul and Christie, you and your leadership training are welcome here in Sri Lanka. If you host your training in a nice Colombo (Sri Lanka's capital) hotel with a nice venue and a buffet lunch, we can get fifty to one hundred pastors and ministry leaders to come. They will come, and you can get some great pictures for
your newsletter. Then, after the seminar, they will take your manual home with them and put it on the shelf with [U.S. megachurch pastor's] training manual and [another U.S. megachurch pastor's] training manual and [a well-known U.S. leadership trainer's] training manual, and they will go about their own ministry in their own way. — Paul Borthwick

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Leadership is simply a well applied energy burst. If a leader is going to let his energy get depleted through not important and urgent activities that distracts every ministry, then there will not be any energy left to counteract the evangelistic entropy that attacks every church and robs them of their evangelistic effectiveness. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership 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

Ministry Leadership 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

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Henri J.M. Nouwen

Christian leadership is a dead-end street when nothing new is expected, when everything sounds familiar and when ministry has regressed to the level of routine. — Henri J.M. Nouwen

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Kevin J. Donaldson

What most new entrepreneurs don't realize is that before you can lead a business, or a family, or a ministry, or even just another person, you have to be the leader of yourself, first. — Kevin J. Donaldson

Ministry Leadership 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

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Sunday Adelaja

In order to know your ministry, you need to start serving and be under the leadership of someone, who already knows his ministry — Sunday Adelaja

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Johnny Hunt

Lord, give us a ministry where the sun will never set. — Johnny Hunt

Ministry Leadership Quotes By James MacDonald

If all you are doing is spending time with the struggling members of your church and you are not building proactively into your church's culture, and you are being shortsighted and limiting the effectiveness of your ministry. — James MacDonald

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Missional leaders know that their church will only grow as large as its capacity to provide ongoing care through a network of small groups and ministry teams. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Sue Mallory

To instill the values for the culture was and is the responsibility of the leadership, and staff alignment was critical to its success. It started with both board and staff. They realized that they needed to share the same value system that says, "I am the equipper, not the doer." If not, there were going to be immense roadblocks to effectively mobilizing people for ministry. — Sue Mallory

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Eugene H. Peterson

Somehow we American pastors, without really noticing what was happening, got our vocations redefined in the terms of American careerism. We quit thinking of the parish as a location for pastoral spirituality and started thinking of it as an opportunity for advancement. Tarshish, not Nineveh, was the destination. The moment we did that, we started thinking wrongly, for the vocation of pastor has to do with living out the implications of the word of God in community, not sailing off into the exotic seas of religion in search of fame and fortune. — Eugene H. Peterson

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Our enemy attacks the conscience little by little seeking to wear us down and then wears out a leader's resolve to fight the good fight. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gangai Victor

Our musical artistry and leadership of people need to work together to create an environment that welcomes participation instead of causing disengagement. — Gangai Victor

Ministry Leadership 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

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Don Cousins

The aim and the result of faithful, fruitful, and fulfilling service is to make God famous. — Don Cousins

Ministry Leadership Quotes By John Paul Warren

Your outlook affects your outcome — John Paul Warren

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

There is nothing worse for a young convert than to be thrust into leadership without mentoring and ongoing coaching because the devil relishes these vulnerable souls. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Gary Rohrmayer

Leaders are passionate learners. Leaders are always seeking ways to improve themselves by sharpening their skills. They fully embrace the fact that growing leaders lead growing organizations. — Gary Rohrmayer

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Debora Hooper

Clearly i Bible times, women were used in ministry leadership roles, and still are today. — Debora Hooper

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Katherine J. Walden

That's the bittersweet joy of ministry. We see people healed, and then we watch them move on in victory. Sometimes, it means saying goodbye. We must learn to celebrate as our fledgling birds spread their wings and fly into freedom, even if that flight pattern takes them far away from us. — Katherine J. Walden

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Ross Parsley

The family of God is about enjoying the bounty of God's table and fellowship with one another and with the Holy Spirit. — Ross Parsley

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Craig Groeschel

If you want your ministry to have 'it', more important than anything else we've discussed, you must have 'it'. When it has filtered through your heart - the rare combination of passion, integrity, focus, faith, expectation, drive, hunger, and God's anointing - God tends to infuse your ministry with 'it'. He blesses your work. People are changed. Leaders grow. Resources flow. The ministry seems to take on a life of its own. — Craig Groeschel

Ministry Leadership Quotes By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Every place is now God's temple, and His people can as truly serve Him in their daily employments as in His house. They are to be always "ministering," offering the spiritual sacrifice of prayer and praise, and presenting themselves a "living sacrifice. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon
