Unsuccessful Leaders

Mt 4:19 Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

We have seen that a major first step in being used by God is to admit that something is wrong. Here we get more specific: if God isn't using you to bring people to Him, something is wrong.

When Christians successfully backstab their way into leadership positions, without being able to lead anyone to Christ, something is wrong. When churches have extensive committees to monitor and control everything, keeping their people busy without anyone being saved, something is wrong. When Christians proudly point out their loyalty to man-made rules and standards without anyone getting saved, something is wrong.

A major fist step in being used by God is to humble yourself by telling the truth: something is wrong.
