If I were to begin my ministry as a pastor tomorrow, knowing what I know today, there is one commitment I would prioritize and give more attention to. That commitment is leadership. Specifically, I would commit to more clearly defining the biblical concept of a leader.
Then, I would commit to investing more time and focus in developing leaders committed to that biblical concept of leadership. Finally, I would seek ways to place or deploy them not only in the church and in their families but in every honorable sphere of influence in our culture.
"Dr. Reeder is concerned that churches have commissioned the world with the task of defining leadership. He wants to reclaim this task for the church, and thus helps us in developing and deploying these leaders for the church and beyond" Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC
