Not every Christian is called to major leadership in the church, but every Christian is a leader, for we all influence others. All of us should strive to improve our leadership skills.

The evangelical Christian is not true to his profession if he leaves his Christianity behind him on Monday morning.

If those who hold influence over others fail to lead toward the spiritual uplands, then surely the path to the lowlands will be well worn.

Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, for your character is what you are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do.

This might sound odd, but I believe that one of the biggest reasons there are so many negative perceptions of Christianity and the church is that Christians hang out with each other too much.

As you have learned through my own story, it is real people just doing their best to follow Jesus who end up making the biggest impact on the world.

I'm grateful to Donald Trump's pro-life views, and I'm grateful that he's expressed those views so publicly and openly.

Sometimes, idealistic people are put off the whole business of networking as something tainted by flattery and the pursuit of selfish advantage. But virtue in obscurity is rewarded only in Heaven. To succeed in this world you have to be known to people.

Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue.

Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing - so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.

I can't believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.
