Purpose

Besides the fact that this blog is for a school project, we need the continual challenge of God, God's Word, and God's people to be the kind of leaders God has called us to be. We all too often hear the horror stories of those who have abused their authority, whether it be in the church or another arena.

This blog will consist of a series of posts regarding John 10:11-18, the Good Shepherd passage. Cultural symbols abound: shepherd, sheep, hired hand, and the wolf. For most of us, these are not part of our daily life as they were in first century Palestine. What do they have to say to us today about leadership in the church and the qualities good leaders must have?
