Paul
is telling us that as Christians we must set the example and be all things
to all. We must as is sometimes attributed to the sayings of St. Francis, “preach
the gospel, and if necessary, use words.”
This
is the first premise of leadership. As leaders, especially Christian leaders,
we must demonstrate the Be, Know and Do attitudes of Christ. That is we must
become an “Alter Christus” or another Christ. We must BE to others as Christ
would. We must KNOW spiritual principals as Christ does and we must act or DO
in the world as Christ would.
This week
in our book study of Character is Destiny[1] we will be studying the character traits
exemplified by Lord Nelson who was the epitome of a person who displays the
characteristics associated with having the trait of RESPONSIBILITY.
