If the church where you and I attend were to disappear tomorrow, would anyone in the community know? Would anyone care?

Those two questions are chilling and convicting for me. I fear the answers and it directly relates to the impact we have in the world where we live.

Have we become so inward-focused that we no longer recognize the influence the church must have in the community?

Something may just be missing in our leadership and we need to consider what can be done, what must be done to lead God’s people in rebuilding the reputation of the church in our communities.

Character and Reputation…

People watch their leaders. This is especially true when it comes to spiritual leaders. The life of a spiritual leader is under the microscope 24/7. 

Consider John Wooden’s observation, “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

Sadly, we live in a culture where we are afraid to hurt someone’s feelings, or offend them. Therefore, we tend to be more concerned with the way others see us, than developing the right character.

There needs to be a good balance in the way we approach relationships. 

If we focus on our character, the rest has a way of working out appropriately.
