You Can't Please Everyone, But Who Do You Please?

By Dr. Greg Wiens

 

 

Yesterday, I read an article of a church that went from 150 to 6500 in weekend attendance since 2002.  I do not intend to criticize nor applaud the church (I know there is a story behind this that we are not aware of), but I have to confess that, as I read this I felt pretty inadequate.  I thought to myself: "If this 27 year old leader could do such, why aren't you doing more Greg?"  I continuously try to grow in my ability to lead and in my effectiveness for the Kingdom of God; but there is always more to do.  Have you ever felt like this?

 

Sometimes I hear a negative comment that has been made about me.  Perhaps, someone didn't like a decision that I made or the way I acted in a certain context.  It can be hard to lead in the face of criticism, especially when it is behind your back.  It is often hard at these times to be obedient to your call as a leader.
