On your job...Do you report to a Boss or a Leader?
In your church...Is your Pastor a Spiritual Boss or a Spiritual Leader?
In your home...Are you a Family Boss or a Family Leader?
IS GOD CALLING YOU TO BE A LEADER?
WILL YOU ACCEPT HIS CALL?
First make sure you are following the greatest leader of all Jesus Christ!
Meditate on this song by William McDowell
I want to be a spiritual leader not a boss with authority! I want God to use me to help people become all God wants them to be. One thing for sure, if you are a leader and no one is following, are you really a leader? If people are following lead with integrity, for the right reasons, and for His glory!
