A philosophy of ministry should be based on God's Word, and it is right or wrong to the degree that its beliefs and values reflect the truths of the Bible. The answer will help you understand the leader, and it will assist you in coordinating your work relationships and duties. It will also enhance mutual effectiveness and lasting staff relationships. Take the time to learn and understand your leader's philosophy. Believe in the leader's direction.
Direction is the application of a leader's philosophy, the actions resulting from it.
While superior-subordinate unity in philosophy is important, one philosophy may have many good applications. Decisions of direction are usually matters of God's particular leading for an individual man or ministry. Contribute positively to both the philosophy and the direction of your ministry. Support the leader's philosophy and direction. Stand for what your leader believes.
