Do you ever stop and think about what would happen if people didn't step up and fill positions and ministries in our churches? There are missing people in the church today and those people are leaders. I can't help but wonder where are the people who are serious about Christ; serious enough to step up and teach, pray, and evangelize.
I believe leadership was very important to the apostles and the early church. I base this statement what I find in Acts 1:21-26. They wasted no time in finding a replacement for the fallen Judas. The truly convicting part of this passage is that Peter and the other Apostles didn't have to look high and low like pastors do today. They found two men very quickly who were qualified and willing. Just typing that statement leads me to another thought. Maybe the reason it is getting harder to find leaders is due to the reality that those who are qualified and willing are few and far in between.
I pray God will raise up leaders. We desperately need men and women who can lead, otherwise the church as we know it will die.
