(2 Corinthians 12, NIV)
Taking all these things together, how much we need servant-hearted leadership in the church in Europe today. How many more high-profile celebrity leaders will fall before we learn these lessons? How many more churches will be trapped in passive inactivity because of either an over-reliance on the ‘man of power’, or a diluting and diminishing of ministry through over-democratic operation? The church and the mission of God need men and women of strong leadership, authority, influence, and ministry, but with the heart and life of a humble servant.
