As Christian servants, we must learn to be content regardless of location, position, salary, house size, or work position, realizing that God has placed each of us in our unique positions. I Timothy 6 addresses the concept of the subordinate-superior relationship. When our superior is a Christian, we are obligated to fulfill three basic responsibilities. It is these responsibilities that guide and direct all remaining duties and obligations. Know the leader's philosophy.
Philosophy is a set of beliefs and values that guide a person's actions.
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.
