Quotes by Duane Elmer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Power is meant to be shared with the goal of empowering others. Hoarded power weakens others and exalts oneself. Power, when grounded in biblical values, serves others by liberating them. It acknowledges that people bear the image of God and treats them in a way that will nurture the development of that image. In so doing, we honor their Creator.”
Duane Elmer, Cross-Cultural Servanthood: Serving the World in Christlike Humility

“Power is to be used in the service of others and only secondarily, if at all, for the benefit of oneself.”
Duane Elmer, Cross-Cultural Servanthood: Serving the World in Christlike Humility

“If a man is forever concerned first and foremost with his own interests then he is bound to collide with others. If for any man life is a competition . . . then he will always think of other human beings as enemies, or at least as opponents who must be pushed out of the way . . . and the object of life becomes not to help others up but to push them down.[7]”
Duane Elmer, Cross-Cultural Servanthood: Serving the World in Christlike Humility
