Think Like Jesus, Not Like A Leader
My friend Bryan Davidson has a great post today on the difference between thinking like a leader and thinking like Jesus. Man, some of them nailed me. It’s so easy to get caught up in progress and mission and all that other stuff.
In the midst of books like “Jesus CEO” and “Leadership Lessons from a Jewish Carpenter” this is refreshing.

There seems to be this trend starting to lean away from “managing the church”. It has definitely become very commercialized and everybody’s got a friggin’ book on it.

I believe whole heartedly in managing the church as long as we are not the ones doing the managing. In this I mean that we should make sure we are led by God to make the decisions we make.
At which point are we managing Christ out of the equasion? I never want to get to a point again where I think I can run the show.
Organizational structure, flowcharts and ministry directors are cool and all but let’s not get tied down and in a rut spiritually because of them.
