Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and
all these things will be given to you as well.
If we were but more careful to please God, and to work
out our own salvation, we should be less solicitous to please ourselves, and
work out an estate in the world. Thoughtfulness for our souls in the most
effectual cure of thoughtfulness for the world. [Matthew Henry Commentary]
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.
