Leadership
Traps
Being a people driver,
rather than servant leader, is inconsistent with Christ’s
model.
I’ve seen
church members worn out from the Pastor’s expectations at fund
raising events and seemingly unreasonable expectations
for church attendance.
Church
leaders are to work for the joy of their people, not push them
into exhaustion (John 15:11; Phil. 1:25; 1 Jn. 1:4;
2 Jn. 12).
Some of the
shepherds of Israel were unconcerned for their people, and in reality
were sheep butchers (Micah 3:1-3), exploiting the people.
