[vn-families] Fwd: LEAD THEM TO JESUS

[angmaytrang]

When one says, "I'm of Paul," & another, "I'm of Apollos," are you n'ot carnal?---------
1 Corinthians 3:4

  Over the years of working with Sports Spectrum magazine, I've heard many stories about athletes and the help they receive from spiritual mentors. That relationship is usually helpful, but occasionally it seems that the athlete is n'ot guided toward the true source of divine power.
I interview many athletes who illustrate this point. When I say, "Tell me about your faith," they reply, "Our chaplain really helps us. We know that we can go to him with anything. He is always there for us. We really believe in the chaplain."
I'm glad that the chaplain is there for them, but I'm s'ad that the name of Jesus is s'eldom mentioned. It seems that their focus is on the human helper and that their true source of power, Jesus, is being 'ignored.
We must remember n'ot to let our devotion to a leader 'replace 'our devotion to Christ. Paul reminded us that "n'either he who plants is anything, n'or he who waters, but God who gives the increase" (1 Corinthians 3:7). Too often, we put our focus on the leader and n'ot on the One the leader is following.
Are you a.. leader? Teach people  to follow the Savior, n'ot you the servant. Are you a follower? Follow only those who point toward Jesus, n'ot themselves.---------------Dave Branon
They truly lead who lead by love
And humbly serve the Lord;
Their lives with bear the Spirit 's fruit
And magnify His word.----------D. De Haan
