It matters who we select as leaders. It's as true of the nation as it is of the local church. The people we select to lead will have a massive impact on how outsiders view an organization. People are watching the president and the members of congress and forming opinions about what kind of country we are. People are watching pastors and members of session and boards to see what kind of church we are. It deeply, deeply matters, and anyone who has been a part of an organization with poor leadership knows how that reverberates through the organization and causes people to fall away, either loudly out the front door, but far more common, they slip out the side doors, not wanting to make a scene, but not wanting to associate with that organization anymore, either.
So may we opt for wise leaders, and pray for discernment as we make our selections.
