Great Minds...

Friend of Christ
you should seek to have, as your friends,
persons who will be of help to you
in the way of life you want.
Let your friends be lovers of peace,
those who are spiritual soul mates,
and those who are saintly.

Theodoros the Ascetic

Birds of a feather flock together. It takes an intentional, proactive movement to change flocks. It takes humility to join a new flock and learn from it.

If we hang with the negative people, we will become negative. If we live with the challenged, then we will not only be challenged but become even better at the tasks of our lives.

The greatest of all friends are lovers of peace, of the same mind of Christ, and those whose lives reflect beautifully the life of Christ.

As Christian leaders, we should not only seek to be leaders such as these but we should surround ourselves with leaders such as these. If we settle for anything less, the Kingdom of God suffers loss.
