CARING FOR PEOPLE

Thursday, March 08, 2007

The shepherds (elders) of the Lord’s Church must care for people. This must be number one on their agenda—caring for people. They are not there to run the business of the church, make wise decisions concerning staff and a hundred and one other things that have nothing to do with saving souls.

“The only thing worse than a coach or CEO who doesn’t care about his people is one who pretends to care. People can spot a phony every time. They know he doesn’t care about them, and worse, his act insults their intelligence.” Jimmy Johnson, former coach,
for the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins.
