Who Are Our Leaders Following?
I was thinking last night about who we are suppose to be following. We all know it's Jesus, of course. And yet we have a church government of sorts. Pastor's, preachers, etc. Part of their job is to lead, and we of course to follow. But, sometimes things get out of whack. And I am not being specific for a reason. But it occurred to me that sometimes our leaders forget that they are to be followers also. I am in no way implying it's intentional. But how often do we hear them say, this is my church? Or we have people ask, who's church do you go to? I think we must ask ourselves, who are our leaders following?
