COURAGEous followers

2/6/2019

Those who become great leaders must first learn how to be courageous followers. That is foreign in our culture today, isn't it? Our culture doesn't follow well. Our culture is one that criticizes and rebels against authority. Unfortunately, we have brought that same mindset into the church. Can I ask you a question? How courageously do you follow your boss at work? Teenagers, how courageously do you follow your parents? How courageously do you follow your church leadership? I'm not talking following them if they're doing something wrong. I'm talking outside of that. I remember a particular time when I was an assistant pastor and my Senior Pastor came up with an idea that I was convinced would not work. I sat down with him in his office and showed him all the ways it could fail, trying to get him to change his mind. But at the end of the conversation he stuck with his idea. Though I thought it was a bad idea, I left his office the greatest cheerleader for that idea that the church had. Why? Because I knew that if you're ever going to be a good leader, you must be a courageous follower. How are you doing when it comes to courageously following the authorities that are over you?
