Daily Devotional: Leadership
Acts 24.15 promises a resurrection of both the just and the unjust. When
the Church was just beginning to communicate itself to the world its
primary herald, Paul the Apostle, made fundamental the truth that
everyone dies and everyone will be judged by God. While no one argues
the former not all religions and certainly not all people believe the
latter. Yet inside all of us is a sense of justice which is why we take
revenge and want revenge upon bad people – at least those whom we
consider bad because they have somehow wronged us. We despise those who
beat the system and seem to get away with doing wrong. So too the
Christian message promises that one day every person will give account
for the words, deeds and thoughts done in accordance with the will of
God and for the glory of God. While we want others accountable for their
actions few of us wish to be held accountable for our own. We have good
reason, we tell ourselves, for disobeying and ignoring God, reasons He
surely should understand. In an effort to appease our guilty conscience
we have formed religions including atheism in order to avoid thinking
about personal responsibility and eternal consequence for ignoring God.
But the Eternal One, the Creator of all, will not be ignored forever.
Paul preached that God allowed people to live in their ignorance and
disobedience to Him for a time but now He has made Himself clearly known
in Jesus Who, as God, revealed God and what He demands and so will hold
every person responsible for obeying Him when they pass from this life
into the next.
Written by Mike Winter
A discipler helps disciples give up their will for the will of God, live daily a life of spiritual sacrifice for the glory of Christ and strive consistently to obey the commands of Jesus.

WALKING THE WIRE IN THE WORKPLACE, by Dr. Rick Warren
Have you ever heard of Jean-Francois Gravelet? He lived from 1824 to
1897, and used the professional pseudonym, Blondin, gaining world
acclaim as a tightrope walker and acrobat from London, England. Blondin
crossed Niagara Falls in upstate New York, U.S.A. a number of times on a
wire 1,100 feet long, suspended 160 feet above the raging waters. He
performed his death-defying tightrope feats with different theatrical
variations: Blindfolded; in a sack; pushing a wheelbarrow; on stilts;
even while carrying a man on his back.
