The Way He Wants You to Live

I believe the leadership principles given to us in the Bible are applicable to us today.  These principles apply to all leaders in church, our homes, business, schools, etc...  God's call for Christian leaders today has the same urgency as it did in the time of Moses over 3,000 years ago.  I believe the verse below is a great place to begin changing the way we lead, so our actions as Christian leaders are clearly different from the actions of a non-Christian.  And, so people far from Christ who we work for or who work for us will say "I want what he/she has, whatever it is, I want that."

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

^12-13And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!
^13-15Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other's nerves you don't snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.
