Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

  • A man’s character is reflected in his leadership. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. — Proverbs 23:7
  • The diligence to “keeping faith” is a revelation of an individual’s character. These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. — Zechariah 8:16
  • God does not always call the equipped, He equips those He calls. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty — I Corinthians 1:27
