One of the best pieces of leadership advice I’ve ever received: Slow down to touch people. Leaders have full agendas everyday, but they cannot miss opportunities to connect with the people they lead.

“I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of, for to have been thought about, born in God’s thought, and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking.” —George MacDonald
“Trials come to prove and improve us.” —Augustine
An interesting overview of the Jewish names and activities of the disciples of Jesus.
“We participate in the culture of our times because we are creatures of our times. We can’t escape the artifacts, institutions, and conventions of our day; however, we are at the same time citizens of a heavenly realm, and we serve a higher Authority than our unsaved neighbors, follow a different moral code, and seek a different City than they do (Hebrews 12:22-24). Thus, all we do in this world, all the ways we make and use culture—even down to how we take our meals (1 Corinthians 10:31)—should declare to those we engage with us that our cultural norms and use lie beyond their sight in a world where beauty, goodness, truth, righteousness, peace, and joy are the order of the day.” —T.M. Moore
“You can never give another person that which you have found, but you can make him homesick for what you have.” —Oswald Chambers
Ernie Johnson, a hall of fame sportscaster, announced his retirement. Breakpoint shared a blog post about this entitled, “Only this could silence Charles Barkley.” Here’s what is so noteworthy about Johnson and his career.
“God is preparing His heroes; and when the opportunity comes, He can fit them into their places in a moment, and the world will wonder where they came from.” —A.B. Simpson
“By universal evolutionism I mean the belief that the very formula of universal process is from imperfect to perfect, from small beginnings to great endings, from the rudimentary to the elaborate, the belief which makes people find it natural to think that morality springs from savage taboos, adult sentiment from infantile sexual maladjustments, thought from instinct, mind from matter, organic from inorganic, cosmos from chaos. This is perhaps the deepest habit of mind in the contemporary world. It seems to me immensely unplausible, because it makes the general course of nature so very unlike those parts of nature we can observe.” —C.S. Lewis, in The Weight of Glory
