it's a responsibility

There’s a big difference between a person who strives to be a leader
and a person who loves God and is therefore led to love people.
A Christ-like leader cannot use other people as stepping stones for his
own promotion.
Christ taught us a different kind of leadership.
You lead by laying down your life.
Only unhealthy people need a leader who controls and demands a
blind obedience.
On his own man is tempted to think that being a leader means
more privileges and more power.
In the Bible leaders are characterized by the amount of responsibility
that has been entrusted to them.
It’s been a great joy to visit the Baku church together with Pastor Schaller.
He mentioned several times that he has never seen
a church that has so much joy.
He was jokingly guessing that it maybe comes from the water.
This kind of joy is so rare in the world today.
It is a gift from God,
therefore it cannot not be taken away by men.
