Connecting Love andLeadership\n\nSet the believers an example...in love.1 Timothy 4:12  \nMuch good material has been written describing the leadership qualitiesof courage,resourcefulness,charisma,conviction,perseverance,visionarythinking,self-discipline and decisiveness.Yet few books on church leadershipinclude anything about love.This is a tragic oversight since the New Testamentis perfectly clear that love is indispensable to the gifts of leading and teaching.  \nIndeed,the New Testament mandates that spiritual gifts be exercisedin love.As Paul puts it,any attempt at leading and teachingapart from loveis like “a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal”(1 Cor.13:1).To have all of theabove leadership qualities but not love spells failure for a Christian leader(1 Cor.13:1-3).  \nFurthermore,leaders and teachers set the spiritual tone for the church.They have the power to create a more loving atmosphere within the localchurch.If they are lovers of God and lovers of people,their followers willmore likely belovers of God and people.If,however,leaders are self-centered,critical,proud,angry,and impersonal,the people will adopt these sameugly dispositions.  \nAlso,in the church family people must work closely together as brothersand sisters in Christ in making decisions and accomplishing tasks.At timesthis is difficult.Much work within the local church (and among localchurches)is done in group settings:elders'and deacons'meetings,staffmeetings,board meetings,committee meetings,and all-church meetings.  \nThe longer we work together,the more we get to know one another'sfaults and annoying personality traits,which can make life togetherfrustrating.Understanding the New Testament principles of love willsignificantly enhance healthy group leadership,group meetings,andcongregational life as a whole.Without love,it is impossible to live andwork together in
