Re: Authority from God

Leadership is lonely, I agree. It always ends up being me and God. So it's best if God is the One who initiates the assignment and enables me to accomplish it. In other words, I'll be most successful when I am most dependent upon Him and His guidance. That means, I think, that the key to successful leadership is submission to God's authority in my life. Thanks guys. Great posts!

Interesting post. I am not a runner but I do identify with what you say about the Lord using pain and stress to deal with the "not-niceties" of personality. Most of the pain and stress tools that God has used in my life have not been by my willing invitation. Perhaps the fact that you are courageous enough to invite the trials says volumes.

I think we all really desire to walk in unity with brothers and sisters in Christ. We'd like to see all the dividing walls broken down. I think we have that desire because that's what God desires for His people. So often though, we let personal distinctions of age, race, gender, and even fashion differences intimidate us and separate us from one another. All it usually takes in any group is for one person to "cross the line" and others will do it too, because we all want the dividing walls to be gone.

At Church on the Rise last Sunday, when we first got to the building about 30 minutes before the meeting was to start, all the young people were gathered in a clutch at the front of the sanctuary and a handful of older people was sitting in the back. Another old gentleman came in and, instead of sitting down beside his age peers who greeted him first, he walked up to the group of teens and "butted in" on their conversation. The next thing you knew everyone was mixing it up and having fun together.

It was obvious that a lot of those kids needed some healthy parenting and the older folks can provide that in abundance. A lot of the older folks really need to know that they are still valued and needed, and they are finding that affirmation though the younger crowd. What a blessing for everyone!
