The True Mark Of A Christian Leader

Few Things Are So Deadly As A Misguided Sense Of Compassion.

When It Comes To The Culture, There's No Such Thing As Peaceful Coexistence. If We're Not Defending Truth, Fighting For Christian Values In All Of Life, The Truth Will Be Sacrificed On The Altar Of Mainstream Secularism.

People Who Reject Transcendent Authority Can No Longer Persuade One Another Through Rational Arguments; Everything Is Reduced To Personal Opinion. Debates About Ideas Thus Degenerate Into Power Struggles; We're Left With No Moral Standard By Which To Measure The Common Good. For That Matter, How Can There Be A 'common Good' Without An Objective Standard Of Truth?

It Is Not What We Do That Matters, But What A Sovereign God Chooses To Do Through Us. God Doesn't Want Our Success; He Wants Us. He Doesn't Demand Our Achievements; He Demands Our Obedience. The Kingdom Of God Is A Kingdom Of Paradox, Where Through The Ugly Defeat Of A Cross, A Holy God Is Utterly Glorified. Victory Comes Through Defeat; Healing Through Brokenness; Finding Self Through Losing Self.

No, You Can Take It From An Expert In Cover-ups-i've Lived Through Watergate-that Nothing Less Than A Resurrected Christ Could Have Caused Those Men To Maintain To Their Dying Whispers That Jesus Is Alive And Is Lord. Two Thousand Years Later, Nothing Less Than The Power Of The Risen Christ Could Inspire Christians Around The World To Remain Faithful-despite Prison, Torture, And Death.
