If there was one thing I learned while leading in ministry it is that rules come late and relationship comes first...It is really challenging to lead from a point of no influence.....People tend to trust in those that they know more often....Come on you see it all the time...Folk in church will even sit down on, and size up people they are not familiar with. They take exception to those that they know very little about....and tend to stand behind those they spend time with, and have had experiences with....Now you can try if you want to, to walk into a new place and start demanding this and that, see just what u get...If noone anywhere knows anything about you, you may be lucky if u leave untouched....It's just human nature..and guess what it works with our walk with the Lord too...He has already given the example of what leadership and order is all about....He himself desires above all to share with us as, sons, daughters & friends...He calls us no more servants....He has always wanted us to know more of Him and to have fellowship with Him....The laws alienated us and caused us to live separated from Him...but the work of Jesus has given us access to walk closer to Him and thus giving life to our eyes, and hearts, and now we are able to live the way He desired us to....Soooooooo....before u get to ranting and raving and shaking that finger making demands....get to know a person, and build a relationship based on common interests and love....It will go much farther...and break down walls that the rules never could....remember....Relationship First!
