Sunday Afternoon Musings
This, from chapter 2 of J. Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Leadership:
“Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city” (Jeremiah 5:1). “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall” (Ezekiel 22:30).
The Bible shows us that when God does find a person who is ready to lead, to commit to full discipleship, and take on responsibility for others, that person is used to the limit. Such leaders still have shortcomings and flaws, but despite those limitations, they serve God as spiritual leaders. Such were Moses, Gideon, and David. And in the history of the church, Martin Luther, John Wesley, Adoniram Judson, William Carey, and many others.
-
Are we ready to commit to full discipleship?
-
Are we willing to ask God to make us so?
-
Do we really care for our neighbors or are we just pretending?
