Today, I see this statement as very myopic for it assumes that success is found only in being a leader.
Many churches take a do-nothing approach.
Perhaps such churches assume that leaders are born, not made. Several years ago, I was in a discussion with several local pastors concerning the process of nomination for spiritual leadership of their denominational churches. As I listened, I was amazed at the lack of concern about the qualifications listed in the New Testament for both elders and deacons. The longer I minister, the more I am drawn to the Word of God for guidance. One of the most overlooked obstacles on the pathway of Christian joy is weariness.
