Tough Issues

Myron Rush identifies tough issues facing every Christian leader in The New Leader. We are wise to ponder them slowly. You must be willing to stand alone. You must be willing to go against public opinion in order to promote what you believe. You must be willing to risk failure. You must become master of your emotions. You must strive to remain above reproach. You must be willing to make decisions others don't want to make. You must be willing to say no at times, even when you'd like to say yes. You must sometimes be willing to sacrifice personal interests for the good of the group. You must never be content with the average; you must always strive for the best. People must be more important to you than possessions. You will have to work harder to keep your life in balance than people do who are not leaders.
