God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Contrast the priority of convictional intelligence with the models of leadership that are often found and even admired in some Christian circles. Charisma is a great gift, but it cannot substitute for conviction. The same is true of personality skills, gifts of communication, media presence, and organizational ability. None of these things can qualify a Christian leader when conviction is absent or weak.
Many of those whose task it is to broker the truth of God to the people of God in the churches have now redefined the pastoral task such that theology has become an embarrassing encumbrance or a matter of which they have little knowledge; and many in the Church have now turned in upon themselves and substituted for the knowledge of God a search for the knowledge of self.
HEAT OIL IN PAN over low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, about 12
minutes. Add beets and cook, covered, about 35 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until beets are falling apart. Add stock and salt. Cover and
bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Strain and reserve
liquid. Transfer beets to blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Return puree to pan and add reserved liquid. Pour hot soup into tureen and
ladle soup into bowls in front of guests. Decorate each soup bowl with 2
tablespoons yogurt and sprinkle yogurt with chopped dill.
