He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
cultural idea of “leadership” that loves to command and always “looks upon” instead of
“walks beside” those whom they are leading.
We are all learning so much about The kingdom of God, and for me two things right now seem to be dominating my heart and my thoughts.
The first……His aim is His Glory. period. Everything leads there and it all ends there.
It’s not about me, its about His glory. EVERYTHING, is for His glory.
Perhaps we can take a deeper look at that another time.
Leadership is first off all not leading but following the Master, who alone leads.
It is also chiefly, service and work. That others may get ahead in the kingdom and that The Name be lifted up…………not that I have attained all this, I say with Paul. By grace and patience I learn.
So let me move on from this introspect and introduce to you the two teams that will be heading to Southern Africa with us (co-leader Becca and I) in November.
I am excited that you guys can actually see , at least in some way the ministry that God has appointed us too and also to see the faces of these wonderful, smart, hungry, funny and motivated people we get to be with every day.
We are learning to walk along side them that they might be built up into the instruments of the Kingdom of God that they are in Christ releasing power and love following The Way to the ends of the earth.
