Pastor’s Corner: Christian Leaders (Part 2)
Biblical Leadership is Personal By Pastor Ted White
Paul took the time to know people and the people he spent time with
got to personally know him as well. Unfortunately, many leaders do
not get to know people within the church they pastor. That was not
the case with Paul.
In
I Thessalonians 2:5-14 we can see many areas where the people really
knew Paul. In these verses “you” is used on an average of 2 times
each verse. Here are a few things within this passage that the
Thessalonians knew about Paul. They knew:
·
He never used flattery · He did not cover up greed · He was
not looking for man’s praise · He was not looking to be a burden
to them · He was gentle among them · He was like a mother
caring among them · He greatly loved them · He delighted to
share the gospel with them · He delighted to share his life with
them · He held them dear · He toiled while with them ·
He had hardship while with them · He worked night and day ·
He lived holy among them · He lived righteously among them ·
He lived blamelessly among them · He dealt with them as a father
· He encouraged them · He comforted them · He urged them
to live godly lives · He was thankful for them
As
a Christian Leader, how well do you know those you are leading? This
is not just for leadership in a local church though. Each member of
the Body of Christ, the Church is to develop healthy relationships
with each other and encourage each other (Hebrews 10:24-25) even
more as the Lord’s return continues to draw closer.
Want to trust Jesus? He loves you more than any other possibly
could. Go to
