To use another example, we can think of a head coach of a football team, and how that coach makes good and effective decisions to manage the team. We can note how Ryan Day, head coach of The Ohio State Buckeyes, recently vowed to give a couple Buckeye defenders more time in games. A decision he made. So, we understand these things. It’s easy for us. But does the minister of God, or missionary for that matter, understand then the tremendous responsibility entrusted to him or her? It doesn’t mean they don’t pray. Surely, prayer can be and often is a part of decision making. The point is that just like the CEO, or the head coach, the minister and missionary is expected to make wise choices that will lead the church in the right directions, down the right paths. The freedom and responsibility is there. It takes boldness, and perhaps more leaders in the ministry need to follow their hearts and make bigger and better choices. That’s what God wants.
