I'm tired of every day circumstances shift and the decisions are fresh and routines are gone and the habits don't work anymore. And you want to forget it.

You want to just pretend like it's not happening and force yourself back into your

old schedules and routines and habits and vacations and I understand the temptation but the reality is the world

has changed and I don't believe it's going back to its previous shape.

I'm not really mourning that I think there's something better ahead for us but it's going to require of us strength and courage

This is really a companion to a message we began in the previous session last night on strength to lead. I'm of the opinion that we are in desperate need of leadership in our nation.

We need it in the churches. We need it in our communities. We need it in our school boards.

We need it the highest offices of the land, there's a need for leadership.

Leadership's not about titles or positions or offices.

We've all known people that had a title or a position or an office but they weren't leading.

Leadership ultimately is about influence and if you have a title or a position and nobody's

following you you're not a leader you're just taking a walk.

We know a lot of people are out there taking a walk telling us their leaders.

We are in a place where we have a desperate need for people who will lead with a Christian

worldview.

They may do it, you may be a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker, but we need you to approach all of those assignments with a biblical perspective, with a worldview that is informed through scripture.

And there is a huge need for that.
