Quotes by Duane Elmer

“Power is to be used in the service of others and only secondarily, if at all, for the benefit of oneself.”

“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.”
