El líder cristiano y su familia

Enlace de lectura:  El líder cristiano y su familia, 3 puntos de vista: "Cualquier persona con alguna función de liderazgo cristiano suele hablar del tiempo, de agendas llenas, de muchas prioridades y poco espacio para cumplirlas. Ante todo este trabajo, la familia es la primera que está en riesgo de salir perdiendo. Hemos preguntado a tres personas que han pensado mucho sobre cómo se relacionan la familia y el ministerio cristiano. ¿Cómo viven los hijos el trabajo de sus padres? ¿Cuándo hay que decir ‘no’ a un compromiso que va a evitarnos pasar tiempo de calidad en casa? ¿Quién tiene prioridad, las urgencias en la iglesia o el espacio familiar? Ester Martínez, Marcos Zapata y Pablo Martínez nos dan su enfoque a algunas de estas preguntas." por  http://www.protestantedigital.com

Keep on Learning

 

When I was about six years old my school diagnosed me as being ‘educationally sub-normal’ (a less politically correct term for what is now labelled ‘special needs’). After a few one-on-one lessons with the headmistress (during which I demonstrated a technique for observing the way that snails propel themselves and created an elaborate full-size painting of a native American chief, complete with headdress made from real feathers), they realized I was not ESN, but simply bored.

They Learn What You're Excited About

If I have learned anything in 35 or 40 years of teaching, it is that students don’t learn everything I teach them. What they learn is what I am excited about, the kinds of things I emphasize again and again and again and again. That had better be the gospel.

If the gospel—even when you are orthodox—becomes something which you primarily assume, but what you are excited about is what you are doing in some sort of social reconstruction, you will be teaching the people that you influence that the gospel really isn’t all that important. You won’t be saying that—you won’t even mean that—but that’s what you will be teaching. And then you are only half a generation away from losing the gospel.

Make sure that in your own practice and excitement, what you talk about, what you think about, what you pray over, what you exude confidence over, joy over, what you are enthusiastic about is Jesus, the gospel, the cross. And out of that framework, by all means, let the transformed life flow.

we will pay a price?
