Leadership

St. Paul says that Christian leaders should be true to the gospel message they have received. They should be responsible in their daily conduct of life. Their lives should reflect the way that was set by Christ. When we are sure of what God intended us to be we will blossom and grow. It is only when we are convinced of the message, that we can encourage others to live by the same principles and confront those who don't. William Shakespeare wrote, "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."

Titus 1:9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

Help us Lord to hold on to your true message and not be distracted by other pressures in life.
