Bill Hybels, arguably one of the greatest leaders out there today, hits it out of the park with this must-read article about spiritual leadership. If you’re in any sort of spiritual leadership role do yourself a favor and read this brief article. It will open your eyes to the challenges we face as leaders in the spiritual arena. I also believe it will motivate you to give it all you’ve got so that the Church might reach it full redemptive potential. Enjoy.
HAHAHA
“…we say, ‘We’re going to ask you to commit five or six hours a week to service and two or three additional hours for training and discipleship. We’re going to ask you to get in a small group where your character flaws are going to get exposed and chiseled at. We’re going to ask you to come under the authority of the elders of the church and give a minimum of 10 percent of your money. Oh, yeah, you get no parking place, no reserved seats, no special privileges, no voting rights, no vacation or retirement program. You serve till you die. But trust us: God’s going to make it right in eternity.'”
That’s funny because of how funny it isn’t.
