“When Paul talks about singleness and marriage as gifts, he’s not referring to a state that God has awarded us for life, but without actually having the decency to tell us. He’s simply referring to both marriage (and specifically the expression of sexuality within marriage) and singleness (specifically the freedom from unconquerable sexual temptation as a single person) as gifts conferred by God. They go with the turf, not with the individual.”
Orlando Saer, Big God: How to approach suffering, spread the gospel, make decisions and pray in the light of a God who really is in the driving seat of the world

“Leadership involves moving a system from where it is now to some other, better place. It means that one often is at the margins of what people presently like and want, working close to the edge of what is acceptable rather than at the center of the collective consensus.”
J. Richard Hackman, Leading Teams: Setting the Stage for Great Performances

“The focus of pastoral leadership is so consistently on the people, in fact, that the spiritual condition of the flock is the only real measure of a leader's success.”
Christopher A. Beeley, Leading God's People: Wisdom from the Early Church for Today

Harvard Business Publishing
“A leader has to have the emotional capacity to tolerate uncertainty, frustration, and pain. He has to be able to raise tough questions without getting too anxious himself.”
Harvard Business Review, HBR's 10 Must Reads on Leadership

Thabiti M. Anyabwile
“Shepherds are not perfect men. Though God sets the bar for pastoral ministry necessarily high, he uses the poles of grace to support that bar.”
Thabiti M. Anyabwile, Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons
