I
believe servant leadership is living like Christ—obeying only the will of our
Father. It is not attempting to
fulfill everyone’s expectation, whim or request in an effort to be a slave. We
are slaves of Christ alone, not man. I believe the most basic thing a minister
can do to cultivate the qualities of servant leadership involves two sides of
the same coin: one abide in a life of worship of Christ, resting in His vine
and easy yoke (be a Mary sitting at Jesus’ feet & not a Martha running
around in one’s own strength to win the world for Christ), and obeying Christ.
