Leadership

Did you know you're entrusted with God's Work?

And because of this, you have responsibility.

We're responsible to:
1) Distinguish between right and wrong.
-it's not about making decisions according to how you feel. It's about righteousness and justice in every area.
2) Distinguish your God-given resources and how you use them.
-are you loosing the chains of injustice, breaking every yoke, setting the oppressed free, sharing, providing, clothing...
3) Determine if you are leading people to or away from God.
-don't give people the room to question the authenticity of your faith. Their questions should not be about double mindedness, but more about the God you serve and why you love Him so much. And how they can experience that same love. For people to see love, we have to display it.
4) Make the decision: are you going to focus on yourself or on others.
-what are your intentions?
Be for others, no matter what is in it for you.
5) Your temper
-everyone needs to be dealt with respectfully
-learn how to communicate.
