Under pressure Often, and for all sorts of reasons, we get caught in the 'do it' mentality. For those who are capable, it is often easier to do rather than delegate or at least it seems that way. Well, it may be the easy way, but we need to make the decision to facilitate others. This may be frustrating and be a slower process, but in the end it will yield far more dynamic results. We have slowly been put under pressure in the battle of entertainment versus empowerment.
Leaders are under pressure to run better meetings and to be ever more dynamic and creative.
So, we are caught in a dilemma. If this is the case, we are trying to attract people to our churches by the dynamic of our programme and personalities. Perhaps we are falling into the trap of our modern culture. We do not want to get caught up in performance, but rather we want to enter into a new paradigm of mutual responsibility and empowerment. Through this we see individuals released into marketplace ministry, local church and cell.
