“…That is, listen, error is not trying to establish itself, all its trying to do is destroy truth…”
“…If they were going to accommodate these people’s normal fallen impulses, it would be nice if they were Libertine and throw a little ceremonialism in there so they can crank out some mechanics on Sunday and then go live like they want during the week. I mean, you could invent a popular religion…which is what they did…”
A. W. Tozer

http://www.ted.com/talks/benjamin_zander_on_music_and_passion.html …Maestro Benjamin Zander – Conductors of an orchestra never makes a sound. Their power depends on making other people powerful…they awaken the possibility in other people…you can tell whether or not those in the orchestra are getting if their eyes are shinning…WHO am “I” being that causes my player’s eyes to shine.
We call the receptionist “The Director of First Impressions”.
He agrees with his Jewish Rabbi friend who said he sees business as worship…God given and it helps others…work is a higher calling…only difference between the Christian and the non-Christian is the Christian has the “why”…the “why” you give…The excess that I make provides for the needs of others…Used the illustration of a wine glass standing in a deep lipped saucer…you fill it up until it overflows and allow it to pour over into the saucer…What’s in the saucer is the joy… Oh, and by the way don’t gripe about the other person’s cup…if it is bigger than your cup, it’s OK…just because he has a bigger cup, doesn’t mean you can steal from his cup to put it in other people’s cup.
Never make a decision when you are drunk or afraid…some fear may cause you to be wise with caution…but most fear never comes from God…if I am afraid or fearful, I back up, slow down and wait for peace…Peace is from God!
If you treat your people right, they won’t need “Rah! Rah!” sessions to constantly boost them into production…I will fire someone for gossip…it kills morale…we train our people to complain upward to those people who actually have the power to change what is going on.
You can have the finest donkey in the world and they still won’t win the Kentucky Derby. If you want a race horse, then go to the trouble to hire one. Quit thinking that you can make a good donkey into a great race horse.
Put up barriers in the interview process that protects you from hiring duffuses, bone-heads and crazies…Crazies are out there…that’s why they call it “human” resources…they are there…If you hire a person who is married to a “Crazy” then watch out…a perfectly good employee married to a “Crazy” has no value to your organization at all.
Spousal interview is one of the greatest discoveries of my life. The 5th interview happens with my wife and me…my wife has the uncanny ability to spot the “Crazy” ones.
Getting the right people on the bus and then working to get them in the right seat on the bus…”I’m not looking for the best ones. I am looking for the right ones.”
Boss, I think I have burned out. No, you haven’t! You never were on fire.

Vance Havner say, “We shouldn’t worry because the government won’t allow children to have Bibles in school. They’ll get free Bibles when they go to prison.”
From a “devoted Southern Baptist church member who resents your ignorance”: I get much more out of yoga and meditation than I ever get out of a sermon in church. From “a Christian who goes to church every service”: My favorite image I use in yoga is that of Jesus assuming a perfect yoga position in the garden of Gethsemane as he prays. And, to cap it all off: How do we know that the apostles and early Christian guys did not use yoga to commune with Jesus after he left?
