“If a preacher is cultured, gentle, earnest, intellectual, and broadly tolerant, the sheep of God run after him. He, of course, speaks beautifully about Christ, and uses the old words redemption, the cross, even sacrifice and atonement-but what is his Gospel? That is the crucial question. Is salvation, perfect, entire, eternal,-justification, sanctification, glory,-the alone work of Christ, and the free gift of God to faith alone?” IfsUseRunningChristianCoursesSpeakChristPerfectSacrificeEternalIntellectualGloryCrossesSalvationRedemptionGentleCrucialSheepPreacherJustificationEarnestAtonementGift From GodSanctificationFree Gifts Author:C.

“Leaders need to remember that the point of leading is not to cross the finish line first. It's to take people across the finish line with you. For that reason, leaders must deliberately slow their pace, stay connected to their people, enlist others to help fulfill the vision, and keep people going. You can't do that if you're running too far ahead of your people.” PeopleIfsNeedsFirstsReasonHelpingMotivationalRunningRememberLinesLeaderVisionCrossesConnectedPaceFinish Line Author:John C. Maxwell

“It costs something to be a real Christian, according to the standard of the Bible. There are enemies to be overcome, battles to be fought, sacrifices to be made, an Egypt to be forsaken, a wilderness to be passed through, a cross to be carried, a race to be run. Conversion is not putting a person in an arm-chair and taking them easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.” PersonsMadeRealRunningChristianWinningHeavenRaceEnemySacrificeArmsVictoryBattleCostConflictStandardsCrossesOvercomingConversionChairsWildernessEgyptForsaken Author:J.
