Packer on Inerrancy

In his book "Truth & Power":

"In the ongoing North American debate between evangelical and liberal Protestants, in which a large number of the former took the name "fundamentalists," biblical inerrancy was from the first made the touchstone more directly and explicitly than was ever the case in the parallel debates in Britain. This I now think (I did not always think so) argues for clearer-sightedness in the New World, for without inerrancy the structure of biblical authority as evangelicals conceive it collapses."

Clinton on Crisis and Leadership Development

A crisis is a time of increased pressure. Theses situations are often used by God to test a leader and to teach him dependence on God.eg. A leader faces a major crisis. The leader sees that his only hope is in God. He experiences God in a new way in the crisis. He sees God as the One who can and does meet him in this major experience of life. Not only does God meet the leader in the situation but He does so with a solution that is tailor-made for the leader. The overall effect is a more confident leader. It provides a landmark experience that will affect this person's ability to lead others. His followers in turn sense a new spiritual authoirty in him. Learning lessons in these experiences is the goal. Spiritual authority is a most important by-product.

Watchman Nee on Spiritual Authority

From Nee's 'ten commandments' of spiritual authority:

1. One who learns spiritual authority as the power base for ministry must recognise the essential Source of all authority: God.

7. People who are under God's authority look for and recognise spiritual authority and willingly place themselves under it.

8. Spiritual authority is never exercised for one's own benefit, but for those under it.

Clinton on Leadership Development

As a leader, you should recognise that God is continually developing you over a lifetime. His top priority is to conform you to the image of Christ for ministry with spiritual authority. Enduring fruitfulness flows out of being.

Development phases are identified by three factors: process items (people, circumstances, lessons, etc that God uses to indicate and develop leadership potential), boundary events (significant experiences that happen during a boundary time and influence its outcome), and changes in sphere of influence (the totality of people being influenced and for whom a leader will give an account to God). There is usually an interplay of all three factors during a development transition.
