‘When Leaders Choose Leaders.’
Deuteronomy 1:15.
It was the normal Biblical practice for leaders to choose leaders. This continued in the Ministry of Jesus Christ and into the early Church. It should be the best method.
a) The leaders chosen were wise.
b) The leaders chosen had a good reputation.
c) The leaders chosen had delegated authority given to them.
(This QT reminds me of how it is meant to be When Leaders Choose Leaders)

‘David’s Heart Was Like Christ’s Heart.’
1 Samuel 22:2.
Jesus welcomed sinners and changed their lives. This pattern has been recorded in the Gospels and is still happening today. A part of the Ministry of the Church must be to save sinners and then to disciple them. The people that David welcomed:-
a) Some were in distress.
b) Some were in debt.
c) Some were discontented.
d) They willingly gathered themselves to him.
(This Second one shows me that David’s Heart Was Like Christ’s Heart)

There should be an examination into our methods, as churches, of appointing leaders. We need to exalt the Bible over our traditions and then many of our churches will experience stable growth and a greater level of Joy in the Church. The Church should never be a political place.
