Short Thoughts On Leading In Church

    A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a meeting with some general church leaders that had a question and answer session. Actually, other than a very short message at the outset, it was a question and answer meeting. At the beginning, the presiding authority reminded us that we should ask questions that are likely to be of interest to everyone, and not focus on topics of strictly personal interest. Since the meeting I've reflected on this statement in addition to the various questions and answers, and I recognize a short, but powerful message: being asked to serve in the church isn't about me or the person being asked to serve; instead, it's about the people we are serving.
