992.0. "Enabling Ministries -- Chapter 13" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (God's rascal) Fri Oct 28 1994 19:41

	Though I lead with the authority of king or of priest
		And have not love --
	I am become as a talk-show host or a reactionary
		political commentator.
	Though I exercise all the gifts of the prophets
		Understanding all mysteries,
	Wielding Holy Power;  Even if I possess all the expertise
		to build up the body of Christ
		And have not love --
		I am nothing.
	Though I relinquish my earning potential in the world
		to become a minister of the Word
		And have not love --
	My choice gains nothing of everlasting value.

	Now there are many models for leadership
		Among them these three:  prophet, priest and king;
	But, yes, there is a more excellent way:
		The Servant who responds to God's call
		with Love.
