Godliness vs Effectiveness - the Both/And Ministry dilemma.

Godliness vs Effectiveness

Theology vs Pragmatics 

People centered vs Organisationally minded

Leading from the front vs Serving others 

Courage to take a stand vs Quick to submit

Others know I am one of them vs I am set apart to lead

I lead patiently vs I lead with a sense of urgency 

Most Christians at some point do start to wonder if they are the real deal.  What God asks of us is so far reaching, so all encompassing, that when we come up short, we start to ask ourselves  “Am I an imposter?” “Should I really be a leader?” and perhaps/Am even a Christian at all?’
