Daily Reminder – Wisdom
February 24, 2007
The longer I live the more I am reminded of my own lack of prudence. Proverbs 24:3-7 instructs on the value of gaining wisdom.
“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
By Knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
For by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.”

Daily Reminder
February 22, 2007
The larger catechism of the Westminster Confession states that our chief and highest end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him fully for ever. Well, I am ashamed to say that over the last couple of weeks I have been entirely convicted and fallen short of this goal. I am reminded in the words of Colossians 3:12-17, that I am to put on these virtues;
“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all else put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
—J.R.R. Tolkien
The Nature of True Greatness
February 15, 2007
Luke 9:46 – 48,
An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

Improving our Leadership
February 12, 2007
According to missionary Hudson Taylor leaders should always strive to improve his or her leadership. He gave us six suggestions on how this is done:
1. Improve the character of the work.
2. Deepen the piety, devotion and success of the workers.
3. Remove stones of stumbling, if possible.
4. Oil the wheels where they stick.
5. Amend whatever is defective.
6. Supplement, as far as may be, what is lacking.
As always, easier said than done.
Fatigue, Hard Work, and Leadership
February 12, 2007
“The spirit of the welfare state does not produce leaders. If a Christian is not willing to rise early and work late, to expend greater effort in diligent study and faithful work, that person will not change a generation. Fatigue is the price of leadership. Mediocrity is the result of never getting tired.”
