Dependence on God
March 5th, 2010
Henri Nouwen says “the word ‘discipline’ means ‘the effort to create some space in which God can act.’”
The leader’s most important move is to step aside and give God the proper room to do what God does best. You see, we are completely dependent upon Him. We may not realize it or may not accept it, but it doesn’t deny its reality. Everything we have comes from Him.

Discipline Is An Icky Word
March 2nd, 2010
“Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.” 1 Peter 1:13,14
Last week I gave us a biblical description of a leader. This week I want to look at the discipline involved in leadership.
Let’s be honest: discipline is an “icky” word.

March 2nd, 2010
It’s like one big spiritual “kick-me” sign on our back.
