Three worthy goals part III

general thoughts

“The third worthy goal of a Christian leader is to bring glory to God.  This is the ultimate goal, behind and supporting all the others.  Honor God by the way you lead.  Not everything that Christians do necessarily accomplishes this goal.  God’s desire is to reveal himself to the world through obedient people and organizations.  God is not concerned with bringing glory to people.  He wants to reveal his glory through people.  The leader’s goal is to keep this task at the forefront of the organization’s agenda.  The goal of bringing God glory must always be the impetus behind every leader’s effort.  How do leaders bring glory to God?  By openly revealing God’s nature to a watching world.  Through leadership that is forgiving, patient, and holy (for these things reveal God’s character and nature), the world will see a glimpse of the true God.  To reflect God’s nature to others is to bring him glory.”

Spiritual Leadership, Henry and Richard Blackaby
