My other blogs this week kind of talk about it, as does my personal blog on www.glennpenner.comGlenn Pennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775729921874246091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-24853879695408019702009-07-23T17:20:06.500-04:002009-07-23T17:20:06.500-04:00This is one of the best discourses on Christian le...This is one of the best discourses on Christian leadership I’ve read. I was especially struck by #2: “Have we forgotten Who our real source is and how infinite His bounty is? There is no pie, in God’s economy.” It’s a life lesson for all of us, whether we’re leaders or not -- and no matter the state of the economy.<br /><br />I might add three points, which are implied or understood in the others, but which I think should be called out. <br /><br />1. Commit every decision, no matter how small, to prayer. <br />2. It’s never about you; it’s always about God. <br />3. God gets the glory, all of it, all the time, period. (What if every Christian organization began its mission statement, as you've done, with, “To glorify God by . . . .” What if every item on our task lists began with, “Glorify God by . . .”?”<br /><br />I don’t know what kind of cancer you’re fighting, but I’m praying.kathyhenninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763139784541495862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-75719336625187029962009-07-22T21:06:15.246-04:002009-07-22T21:06:15.246-04:00"God’s purposes are always accomplished in a ..."God’s purposes are always accomplished in a context of sacrifice, suffering, humility, and weakness. Christ calls each of us to a life marked by these things."<br />Glenn, I was really struck by this statement. It seems that this is a foreign idea even to most Christians. I am looking forward to reading your book. Btw, having worked with stem cell transplant patients for many years I am, at least, familiar with what you have gone through and have seen how very tough it is. God bless you and the work you are doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
