Kindle Notes & Highlights
Unhealthy church culture is ultimately a theological problem.
For a church to have a culture of leadership development, the church must see mankind rightly.
“For the problem with people is not just that they commit sins; their problem is that they are enslaved to sin. What is needed, therefore, is a new power to break in and set people free from sin—a power found in, and only in, the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
“The only thing we contribute to our
salvation is the sin that makes it necessary,”
Powerlessness in a church and her leaders is a symptom of the disease of unbelief in the gospel.
Making leaders in the local church must be an activity of training leaders to be humbly dependent, not willfully independent. Powerful leaders can be produced in a church that unabashedly embraces the powerlessness of independent man.
the Kingdom of God there is no elite class or higher caste.
