Leadership Without Love

three times our Lord Jesus to Simon Peter He did plea do you love me ? do you love me? do you love me? feed my sheep today the quality of those in leadership roles has gotten lax and somewhat out of control when I look at some of the black churches I am appalled that they're not truly houses of worship they've become mating halls dressing to impress, being seen and handing out business cards all kinds of activities that don't line up with the word of God leadership without love, leadership without godly respect it's no wonder that true worshipers of these places they do reject to be in a role of leadership in the house of God is to have a love for Him entrenched in your heart but first you need to know how to Him communicate to openly pray and speak to Him on a level that's intimate for if you can't talk to God how will He know what's in your heart? second a position of leadership should not be for sale if you let someone buy in you'll have compromised and then you all might wind up in hell it's not easy to be a leader in the church if you don't have true love for Christ as much will be required of you as you're now a servant for life feed my flock, tend my sheep, give my people the daily bread Jesus said to Simon Peter for by the Holy Spirit they will be fed do you love me? do you love me? do you love me? three times our Savior asked for leadership without love will be a daunting and unfulfilled task some in leadership roles have forgotten why they were called they've allowed worldly influences to come in which caused them to stumble and fall they think that titles, positions and status in the church means that they're above the Pastor and the members and can say and do anything compassion and understanding with a godly intent is not what they portray in how they respond and comment they display no love for their fellow servants they treat them with disdain and you wonder why many leave the church for a true worshiper can not remain to be a leader in the church is to be a loving servant of Christ for leadership without love is not what Jesus sacrificed Jesus loved us so much He was willing to wash our feet Jesus loved us so much there was no sinner He wouldn't meet with humility, compassion and all that God to Him did give He gave His life as a sacrifice so that holy we now may live leadership without love is a slap in the face to Jesus the Christ for leadership without love wherein is the sacrifice?
