Philippians 2:1-2 (NIV)
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being
united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the
Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
The same love that we are required to express to others,
others are bound to express to us. Christian love ought to be mutual love.
Love, and you shall be loved.
Claude Alexander, bishop of The Park Church in Charlotte,
North Carolina, urges Christians from all walks of life to step up into bold
leadership. Here's his take on bold leadership:
There are questions that beg to be answered. There are
dilemmas to be overcome. There are gaps to be filled, and the challenge is for
you to fill them. That is the essence of the high call of spiritual leadership.
There is a purpose for your being here. You are meant to answer something,
solve something, provide something, lead something, discover something, compose
something, write something, say something, translate something, interpret
something, sing something, create something, teach something, preach something,
bear something, overcome something, and in doing so, you improve the lives of
others under the power of God, for the glory of God.
