]]> Comment on The Evangelist… by Mark Brown http://scriptureunionwa.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/the-evangelist/#comment-91 Mark Brown Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:49:56 +0000 http://scriptureunionwa.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/the-evangelist/#comment-91 Excellent story. Just been reading about Paul in Acts and find myself mulling over the disconnect between my experience of Christianity and the early church experience. There is something attractive about stepping outside of the middle class comforts and risking a little... I felt this tug recently through an encounter with Operation Mobilisation's Doulos ship, which involves 300+ volunteers who sail around the world sharing Christ's love. The key word is sacrifice as they give up the usual comforts to share Christ's love. Thanks for sharing this, it certainly has challenged me as well. Mark http://brownblog.info/ Excellent story.

As the Sheep know the shepherd's voice, so should believers recognize the Lord's voice speaking through a person. However, be warned; not all who lead are leading in understanding. You only have to be one degree off course to lose your way. Great is the responsibility of a Leader; thus Great is the accountibility. Consider Interesting,

I am also encountering a number of young people who for example are members of a ministry team but are reluctant to take on leadership as they see it as above them. So we have had programs with good teams not run because no one was prepared to be the leader. Not sure if others experience this? Thanks, Sarah

I would like to challenge you over who 'become' leaders. Most, if not all the leaders I know (ministers, pastors, holiday or mission leaders, housegroup leaders etc) are there because after a long wrestle with God about their inadequacy, they finally said 'God if this is what you really want me to do, then I will'. I agree that some in leadership are there for the kudos, status or 'power' - though not for the money in UK churches - and yet, God in his grace uses them too... What does everyone else think?
