Day 1:
Christian Leadership involves servanthood (Mark
10:43-45) and a non-quitting attitude. (I
Cor. 16:13) (II Cor. 4)
Day 2:
If you are going to be a leader, you have to be a reader (of leaders).
Day 3:
You only get out of life what you put in it. No more, no less.
(about 99.9% of the time)
Day 4:
God made you and not somebody else.
- the rest of these are from C. S. Lewis -
Day 5:
Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. It
is either marriage with complete faithfulness to your partner, or else
total abstinence.
Day 6:
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth
and you will get neither.
Day 7:
The lesson of history is that civilization is a rarity attained
with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is
barbarism.
Day 8:
When you turn from the New Testament to modern scholars, remember
that you go among them as sheep among wolves.
Day 9:
Those who stand outside all judgments of value cannot have any ground
for preferring one of their own impulses to another.
Day 10:
Either we are rational spirit obliged forever to obey the absolute
values of the moral order or else we are mere nature to be kneaded
and cut into new shapes for the pleasures of masters who must have no motives
but their own natural impulses.
- a couple more Dr. Noebel threw in at the end -
· Never insult and alligator until after you cross the bridge!
· If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
· A wet bird never flies at night. (I
got that one from a book by Dr. Dobson. He said he grandfather used
to tell him that. Go figure.)
Mark 10:43-45
"...Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For ever the
Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life
as a ransom for many."
I Corinthians 16:13
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong."
