"The building of Christians into servant leaders is never done in a vacuum, much less in a classroom. It is always the combination of spiritual ministry (doing), spiritual maturity (becoming), and instruction (knowing)."
- Dick Kauffman, in Building Christians Into Servant-Leaders

BACK TO THE OLD WAYS :: by John Thomas

"Reading Jack Miller's, The Heart of a Servant Leader, I was confronted with some ideas we need to face in our work of preparing new leaders for ministry. Miller cites Brownlow North as a great example of gospel joy coming from the knowledge of the deep forgiveness and grace he's received.
"When a man wrote a letter accusing him of terrible sins, North brought the letter into the pulpit and read it and admitted that he was this man. He then went on to tell how Christ had forgiven and changed him and filled him with joy. Though he was convinced of his depravity, this did not dominate his thoughts. What dominated him was the marvel of grace transforming him and other sinners.
"(That, by the way, is a great example of how to repent, and how the Spirit brings true change to the lives of believers.)"
