In the Black Forest near Calw. Had a long overnight flight so we are taking it easy today. It is kind of rainy here today but much cooler than Indiana.


Follower - Leader

Posted by: Tom, 1 comments

I sometimes get frustrated with the emphasis on leadership in the church. Apparently that is the problem with the church today. I had someone kind of laugh the other day when they saw all the leadership books I own. We got to talking and he said that all the books, seminars, etc. are almost exactly what he goes through in the business world.

I have always thought that what the church needs is more people head-over-heels in love with Jesus. Not just "fully devoted" but compelled to be "fully devoted" because of their love.

Maybe that is the problem with the church. Maybe we need to focus on getting all of us pastors to be great followers of Jesus and not worry so much about the leadership aspect of it. Is it possible that great followers of Jesus would be led by the Spirit to empower those within their churches who have real leadership ability?
