So I have just finished up some committee work for church and can't help wondering, "who the crap do we think we are"? I've been reviewing e-mails that pertain to a situation that occurred before I was on the committee. Apparently the situation may be revisited so I needed to be brought up to speed. Well, lucky me! Eye-opener to say the least.
I'm terribly disappointed in the existing leadership, or so it's called. What is it about being on a committee that makes someone power trip as soon as they are elected? IT'S JUST A COMMITTEE, FOLKS!!! It is called serving. You know, like Jesus did!?! You remember Him, don't you? Son of God, spotless lamb, died for our sins and all that? He came to serve, said that Himself. So why do we think we are here to rule?
Committees are necessary. Call them teams if you want to. The truth is when you have 300 people together you have to delegate duties and responsibilities. Nothing wrong with that. But if it causes you to think you are the leader of the free world then SCRAM! Check yourself, judge yourself.
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned."
"...For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."
Alright, I think I'm better now. Sorry for venting. No, actually I'm not. That's what this blog is for. But here's free advice and it comes straight from the Word of God:
"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal inetersts, but also for the interests of others." (Philippians 2:3,4)
