Two Kinds of Leaders

“A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.” (Proverb 28:16) In the world, we consider “rulers” to be somehow elevated above those they rule.

In this case, I believe the topic should cause us to see ourselves (whatever our roles in the Body of Christ) and other Christians in a new light. Perhaps that will result in increased unity among us and in more people harvesting their spiritual gifts in Christ. Sometimes a person who does a good job of singing or delivering a sermon or writing a book is described as “being anointed.” The implication is that the talented are “anointed” and those Christians who aren’t ta
