The Christian's Worthy Walk: Corporate Transformation, Part 2

Christ gave grace to each of us according to the measure of His gift. That grace is the gift of spiritual leaders to the Church. These gifts are given for the health of the Body, and we each benefit from them as part of life in the Body of Christ. But the Church suffers when we diminish God’s means of blessing and strengthening the Church, or worse, when we embrace false and dangerous ideas about spiritual leadership. Today, Christian bloggers and media personalities often have more influence over the Church than recognized and proven pastors and teachers. What’s more, we even have men who declare themselves apostles, and who therefore operate without any biblical accountability. The vitality and influence of the Church depends upon faithful and qualified spiritual leadership. Do you want to see unity in your local church, and enjoy the blessings of faithful leadership? Don’t seek out men who are successful or who fit the mold of the times. Find men who look like Christ, who love God’s people, and who shepherd in the strength and power of God’s Word.
