The importance of active leadership

July 6, 2012

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

The famous Communist leader, Leon Trotsky, visited Chicago in 1915 and was invited to Sunday school at a local church. When he arrived at his classroom, the teacher was absent, and no one had stepped up to lead class that week. So there was no one there to share the Word of God with Leon Trotsky. 

As far as anyone knows, Trotsky never went back to Sunday school or church again. I wonder what could have happened if a faithful leader in that classroom would have been present that day, opened the Word of God, and shared the testimony of Jesus Christ with him. But there was no one.

What the Church and the world need today are people who will step up and be the spiritual leaders God has called them to be. We don’t need more passive, consumer-minded Christians. We have enough of those! We need leaders for Christ!

Don’t let laziness and passivity keep you from doing the work of ministry. Instead, be willing to step up and lead others for Christ. Share God’s love with those who need to hear it. And above all else, be obedient to the calling of God when He asks you to lead!

INSTEAD OF BEING PASSIVE, LEAD ACTIVELY FOR CHRIST WHEREVER HE CALLS YOU!

Learn how to defeat your doubts!

Dear Friend,

Many believers today find it easy to have faith when times are good. But when things get tough, they struggle with doubt as the foundations of what they believe are shaken.

To help you learn to defeat your doubts, I want to send you two powerful resources: the Why Believe, Part 2 CD series and a copy of the Share the Good News®New Testament.

These two resources will help you build the kind of faith that will weather the storms of life and conquer your doubts. And they’re my gifts to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint Ministries continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I pray these resources will strengthen and encourage you for powerful daily living!
