NITROMOVES 2.0

 

Here is part 2 of “Ten Treasures.”  I had it on my mind to post it a month after.

Whenever I come across these statements and quotes, my focus sharpens and my convictions strengthen.  Sometimes I would glance through their context and chapter once more to refresh my memory.

  

 

CHANGE

“To master change, your paradigm must shift

from what you will lose to what you will gain.”

 

Lance Witt, Purpose Driven Life Small Group, page 4.

  

  

“Everyone thinks of changing the world,

but no one thinks of changing himself.”

                                                    - Leo Tolstoy

 

John C. Maxwell, Thinking For a Change, page 24.

 

 

 

EMPOWERMENT

“The act of giving your power to another,

so they can serve effectively.”

 

Million Leaders Mandate, Book Two, page 34.

 

 

 

FAITH

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

and certain of what we do not see.”

 

Hebrews 11: 1 (NIV)

 

 

 

GRACE

“Grace means there is nothing we can do to make

God love us more—no amount of spiritual calisthenics

and renunciations, no amount of knowledge gained

from seminaries and divinity schools, no amount of

crusading on behalf of righteous causes. And grace means

there is nothing we can do to make God love us less—no

amount of racism or pride or pornography or adultery or

even murder. Grace means that God already loves us as

much as an infinite God can possibly love.”

 

Philip D. Yancey, What’s so Amazing about Grace, page 70.

 

 

 

INTEGRITY

“Doing what you said you would do,

when you said you would do it,

and how you said you would do it.”

                                               - Byrd Baggett

 

John C. Maxwell, The 360 Leader, page 31.

 

 

 

MENTORING

“A relational experience where one person empowers

another by sharing God-given resources.”

 

Million Leaders Mandate, Book Two, page 34.

 

 

 

PRAYER

“He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer

has heaven and earth at his disposal.”

                                                     – Charles Spurgeon

 

Wesley L. Duewel, Mighty Prevailing Prayer, page 19.

 

 

 

STEADFAST FAITH / COURAGE

“If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every

portion of the truth of God except precisely that…point which the

world and the devil are at that moment of attacking, I am not

confessing Christ. When the battle rages, there the loyalty of the

soldier is proved. And to be steady on all the battlefield,

 is merely flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”

                                                                     - By Martin Luther

 

Stu Weber, Four Pillars of a Man’s Heart, Page 40.

 

 

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out

how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds

could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man

 in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat

and blood, who strives valiantly…who knows the great

enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself

in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the

triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst,

 if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his

place shall never be with those cold and timid souls

who have never known neither victory nor defeat.”

                                                              – Teddy Roosevelt

 

John Eldredge, Wild at Heart, page xiii.
