A Spiritual Leader compassionately guides others
- ‘He should be sympathic with the weak and erring. “He was to ‘specialize’ in mending bruised reeds and fanning the smoking into flame” (29)
- “The true leader regards the welfare of others rather than his own comfort and prestige as of primary concern. He manifests sympathy and concern for those under him in their problems, difficulties and cares, but it is a sympathy that fortifies and stimulates, not softens and weakens.” (185)
- Samual Brengle stated: “We need leaders who know how to read hearts and apply truth to the needs of the people …There are soul-sicknesses open and obscure, acute and chronic, superficial and deep-seated which the truth…in Jesus will heal. But it is not the same truth for each need… This is why we should most diligently study the Bible and pray for the constant and powerful illumination of the Spirit.” (54)
