Leaders

What do you look for in a church leader? My word says that the rulers of the gentiles exercise authority over them, but it is not to be so among you, for your leaders are to be servants. In the world of commerce there are ‘celebrity’ executives who rule with strong personalities. Even in this realm they are not the most successful, even though people are attracted to them. Are you attracted to church leaders who have charisma in this sense? My word lists the qualifications for those who would lead my church and it says nothing about popularity and personal magnetism. It does speak to demonstrated character and stability. Look for these qualities in church leaders.
