We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Never are church leaders to think of their status as lordship, but as servanthood. Note the following about true spiritual leaders: Spiritual leaders do not dominate, they serve. Spiritual leaders do not command, they guide. Spiritual leaders do not manipulate, they teach. Spiritual leaders are not lords, they are models and ministers. Whenever these truths are ignored, church leaders become dictators, overbearing and ugly. The love of preeminence, greatness, and authority is the antithesis of Biblical leadership. Leaders must remind themselves that they are servants of the church; their power is the power of example, teacher, and servant. The real power of leaders is the Word of God spoken through them and exemplified in them! (Larry Hess)

The person in your house that claims your first and nearest attention, is, undoubtedly, your wife; seeing you are to love her, even as Christ hath loved the Church… Next to your wife are your children; immortal spirits whom God hath, for a time, entrusted to your care, that you may train them up in all holiness, and fit them for the enjoyment of God in eternity. This is a glorious and important trust; seeing one soul is of more value than all the world beside. Every child, therefore, you are to watch over with the utmost care, that, when you are called to give an account of each to the Father of spirits, you may give your accounts with joy and not with grief.
Jonathan Edwards
