Emotional Intelligence Part 4: How we think and feel about others

1 Corinthians 11:31

If we judge ourselves, we will not be judged.

Revelation 3:17

You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked?

Luke 9:54

“…Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to destroy them?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them saying, “You don't know what spirit you’re of.”

Hebrews 5:14

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

EMPATHY

The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Romans 12:15

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”

1 John 3:17

"But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?"

LACK OF EMPATHY IS THE ESSENCE OF EVIL.

Organizational awareness is the understanding of your organization from top to bottom and from the inside out.

INFLUENCE

Matthew 5:14-16

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

Religion will always substitute control for influence.

Influence is the Kingdom because influence is relational.

COACHING, MENTORING & NEXT-LEVEL COUNCIL

Proverbs 1:5

A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Matthew 5:9

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

TEAMWORK

Psalms 68:11

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

INSPIRATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Romans 12:8

…Lead with zeal…

It's a chain reaction we call TFAR:

Thoughts, Feelings, Actions, Results

Psalms 47:1

Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
