Dear Fred

Do you think leadership/developing leaders should be a primary concern of Christians? What does the Bible have to say/define leadership?

Fred's Response

Most leaders in the bible were selected and commissioned by God. Jethro advised Moses to select leaders of small groups. This was to relieve his heavy burden. I think in the selection of deacons we are given some good criteria for Christian leadership. Every leader cannot expect to be a Moses or Joseph. But the important thing in leadership is to remember we are stewards and not owners of our ministry.
