Bible Question: Why is it vital for a leader/staff member to be filled with passion/energy/excitement and a positive outlook?? |
Bible Answer: Love4him I think many confuse excitement and passion for the Holy Spirit, and as such are being deceieved and mislead. There are buss words and actions that excites people, many today use them to accomplish this and call it the Holy Spirit. There was a pastor (I beleive it was Johnathan Edwards) that was nearsighted, therefor kept his face into his bible and spoke in mono tones yet was so lead by the Holy Spirit many times when he spoke the church was left weeping under conviction. As for a postiive attitude, every Christian should have one! After all if God be for us who or what can be against us? We are on our way to glory and that in itself should be enough to turn the lousiest day around. Keep Looking up! EdB |
