Searching for Leaders

In his book titled Spiritual Leadership, Oswald Sanders noted three characteristics of a good leader that included:
  1. Authoritative
  2. Spiritual
  3. Sacrificial
My question for you is how do you live these three elements out in the class room? Is it as easy as slapping a Bible verse into a syllabus? What do you think?

Eternal Perspective

Harry Blamires mentioned in his book The Christian Mind the idea that "A prime mark of the Christian mind is that it cultivates the eternal perspective" (p. 67). What does this really look like from the perspective of a professor and how do we communicate this to our students? It must be more than slapping a Bible verse on a syllabus or quoting Scripture throughout class. How do you cultivate an eternal perspective in your teaching? For the students who may be reading this, what methods have been most effective for you as a student learning about communication, business, government, etc. and this idea of cultivating an eternal perspective? What do you think?
