"Follow The Leader"

September 26, 2019 | By Chuck

Maybe you played “follow the leader” as a child. Or, maybe your kids or grandchildren have played the game. Either way, I’m sure everyone is familiar with the game and its simple concept. That simple concept is one that we need to adopt and adhere to today. Leaders are a blessing and we need good godly leaders. But what’s the point, if we don’t do our part and follow them?
Leaders are an essential part of everyday life, especially in the Lord’s church. Churches with strong leaders are healthy and usually vision minded. Our spiritual leaders watch out for our souls and strive to lead us into a closer walk with God. Spiritual leaders educate us in the Scriptures and show us how to live as God’s holy people. At times spiritual leaders are called on to help with guidance and problem solving for members of their flock. Often those problems never become congregational issues because of the wisdom of the men who lead us. Some Christians fail to realize the many hours spiritual leaders log. Make their job easier by following them.
“Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you”(Heb.13:17).
