Live Blog From Catalyst ’14 – 10 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From Tim Keller

As a member of the Catalyst Blog Team and INJOY Stewardship Solutions, I will be bringing you live updates from the much anticipated Catalyst Conference in Atlanta, GA.  The theme for this year’s conference is Change Is Coming.

Today’s third afternoon session was conducted by Tim Keller, Founder Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan.  He spoke on what it takes to change ourself inwardly.  The following are 10 Leadership Quotes and Lessons from his session:

  1. I’ve seen a lot of Christian leaders go down because of character flaws.
  2. You have to know the magnitude of your sin problem.
  3. Sin is constinuitive to my nature.
  4. No of us know how serious our sin is.
  5. The sins that can most destroy you, you are blind to.
  6. Be killing your sin or your sin will be killing you.
  7. Sin is rebelling against God by putting yourself in the place of God.
  8. You’re using the poor for your sake. So you can feel better about yourself.
  9. The effort of maintaining a certain self-image is a release valve of secret sin.
  10. When you see Jesus Christ losing His beauty to make you beautiful makes Him beautiful.
