    This year I will be sharing brief excerpts from the articles, sermons, and books I am currently reading. My posts will not follow a regular schedule but will be published as I find well-written thoughts that should be of interest to maturing Christian readers. Whenever possible, I encourage you to go to the source and read the complete work of the author.

Spiritual Leadership

Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 by Samuel

Samuel Brengle

Quoting Samuel Brengle:

Spiritual leadership is not won by promotion, but by prayers and tears.

It is attained by much heart searching and humbling before God; by self-surrender, a courageous sacrifice of every idol, a bold, uncompromising, and uncomplaining embracing of the cross, and by an eternal, unfaltering looking unto Jesus crucified.

This is a great price, but it must be unflinchingly paid by him who would be a real spiritual leader of men, a leader whose power is recognized and felt in heaven, on earth and in hell.

    A very interesting journey which God has allowed you to take! So glad it was His will to cause you to reconsider your faith.

    Obviously, you are now a more fervent instrument for the work of the Lord! May your faith grow and touch even more souls…

        Were it not for His gift of grace, we would have no hope. Instead, we all have hope and trust we can count on!

        May God love and watch over you today…
