“God does not ask leaders to dream big dreams or to solve the problems that confront them. He asks leaders to walk with him so intimately that, when he reveals what’s on his agenda, they will immediately adjust their lives to his will and the results will bring glory to God. This is not the model many religious leaders, let alone business leaders, follow today, but it encompasses what biblical leadership is all about.”
- Spiritual Leadership, Henry & Richard Blackaby
It’s interesting to me that much of the angst over emerging spirituality is its’ apparent lack of devotion to rationality, objectivity, standards, measurements, limits, etc., combined with an epistemological humility matched with Jesus-directed spiritual mysticism. When did choosing the dynamic, experiential followership of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, become so heretical?
