Weekly devotional and church listings: October 13, 2011

During my 30-plus years of working in management I have seen and worked with many styles of leadership. Some of these styles were and are very effective and some were and continue to be lacking in substance and not fruit bearing. This is happening in many businesses and even in our modern day churches.
In my earlier years, I remember managers being tough and the one know-it-all about the product being produced. It was their way or the highway and if you wanted to work you listened to them and heeded to their style of management.
If you stop and think about it, Jesus was very similar in His style of leadership. Jesus is God Incarnate, the Truth, the Light, and the Way. Only through Him will anyone see eternal life and yet, we, as mere mortals, question His dynamic leadership and demands. In the gospel of Mark 6:8-11, Jesus gave the twelve authority over evil spirits and sent them out two by two, and tells them, "Take nothing for the journey except a staff – no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town. And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."
