Chuck Swindoll recently shared at Catalyst some lessons that he had learned in 50 years of ministry.
- It’s lonely to lead.
Leadership involves tough decisions. The tougher the decisions, the lonelier it is. - It’s dangerous to succeed.
It is dangerous to succeed while being young. rarely, does God give leadership that young because it takes crushing and failure first. - It’s hardest at home.
Nobody at home is applauding you. They say, “Dad! You’re fly is open.” - It is essential to be real.
If there is one realm where phoniness is personified it is leadership. What I care about is that you stay real. - It is painful to obey.
There are rewards, yes, but it is painful nevertheless. - Brokenness and failure are necessary.
- My attitude is more important than my actions.
Some of you are getting hard to be around. And your attitude covers all those great actions you pull off. - Integrity eclipses image.
What you are doing is not a show. And the best things you are doing is not up front but what you do behind the scenes. - God’s way is better than my way.
God is going to have His way. - Christ-likeness begins and ends with humility.
