Hey Christian leaders, what do you think about starting a church and naming it “Leadership Church?”
In general, I’m kinda tired of hearing about leadership. I think it became way too trendy and Maxwellian. That has resulted in many unqualified people speaking to the topic, weakly. However, it doesn’t diminish our need or its importance.
Families need leadership in the worst way. Men need to step up badly.
The country has lost its direction and needs leadership willing to speak truth to power and call people to righteous behavior ultimately born only of Christ-in-you. Our collective course ultimately leads only to cultural disintegration.
The church has lost its passion, its purpose and its power. We’re floundering badly; as reflected in family and country. That’s partly because we are mostly leaderless; amoeba-like, lacking in clarity of our purpose and in organizational direction. We neither think rightly, nor speak rightly to the culture.
So…….if you were going to start a church (For the record, I have no plans to) why not call it Leadership Church and let your teaching be LEADing men and women to Godly righteousness through Jesus. Let your worship LEAD people in how to worship God for all He’s worth. Let your men’s ministry raise up Godly men who LEAD their families. Let your student ministry raise up LEADers for campus. How about raising up business LEADers who deploy Godly principles in the marketplace?
People often ask what a church is like—it’s flavor, essentially—and I think it would be cool to answer that question overtly in the name of the church. Imagine a church focused on:
- LEADing people to Jesus.
- LEADing them to maturity in their faith.
- Enabling them to LEAD their families, their neighborhoods, their workplace, and the country itself in a Godly way.
Leadership Church. I like it!
