#2 - The Apathetic Leader
One of the biggest problems that exist in church world today is that there are leaders that do not care about the people they are serving…or the condition of the world around them.
Apathy is one of satan’s best weapons. He doesn’t mind if we know the truth about life, death, heaven, hell and such…he just wants us not to care about it.
One of his best tactics is to get a pastor or a staff member so focused on going to another church, you know, taking a step “up” in ministry that he/she totally neglects the church where they are supposed to be serving.
The day a leader no longer cares about the people he is serving…he should resign immediately.
The day a leader no longer can get passionate about God’s direction for the ministry they are in…and they are OK with it…BIG problems are only a step away.
I believe a leaders job is to beg God…
- Let me see as You see!
- Let me feel as You feel!
When those two prayers get legs under them…apathy is no longer a possibility.
Passion is essential for longevity in leadership!
What are you doing to constantly refill your passion tank? Personally…I…
- Am in THE WORD daily!
- Surround myself with passionate people. (I do not allow negative people around me…can’t handle it!)
- Attend conferences where leadership is taught.
- Make sure I say in great physical shape.
My prayer is that, as a leader, I will always love what I do…who I serve with and the place of ministry God has called me to be.
A leader who simply does not care will never be a difference maker!!!
Pray for God to set you on fire. And NewSpringers…please pray He will take my passion levels to places that they’ve never been! (BTW…He’s already doing that!!!)
