Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.
Re: R.C. Sproul - Duty and Honor

Poor Isiaih! Perhaps his largest fault and the reason for his feelings of disintegration were that he attempted to put himself on the same level as the LORD. After all, it is human nature to view our lives from a terrestrial level. This reminds me of the talk I was listening to on the way in this morning. Tim Marks made the observation that we naturally view ourselves as the most important person in the room, regardless of the audience. It takes the discipline of a servant leader to resist our natural egocentric tendencies in order to reach out and touch the lives of others - as Jesus did. Back to Isaiah, I feel that is important to never hold yourself to the "ultimate model and standard for integrity and virtue in the character of God". Rather, live your life knowing that the LORD is always watching over you. He will guide you to act in his likeness and he will forgive you when you make mistakes.
