Two-dimensional leaders fail to understand the context of to how to rally people-resources to the mission to achieve peace and a prosperous that changes the outcomes. This is the equivalent of how at times Israel was a nation, but was harassed by the enemy, so the nation could not be fully functional. One-dimensional leadership is all about “me” not the mission. These self-centered leaders ignore essential elements within their contexts or inappropriately impose their backgrounds, special interests, and pet-peeves upon the process, and thus frustrate followers.

Three-dimensional leaders are SEM masters, meaning they submit ego to the mission (cause of Christ). Great leaders serve to organize, resource and equip, and empower others so they can serve and succeed at their jobs and ministries.
An MRC focus assists senior executives to plot corporate strategy, division managers and department heads to organize the processes that achieve it, and supervisors to inspire employees to implement it with a dynamic team spirit and an amazing customer service focus! These principles propel organizations to achieve more effective collaboration and coordination from the boardroom to the mailroom.”

Only spiritual individual who understand and embrace the authentic GOSPEL rehab program can be true Godly leaders. All of the rest are just religious gang leaders.

John,
thanks for your thoughts about how churches respond to social issues. All Christians, but particularly pastors, are viewed as representatives of the Gospel and Christ’s people. We need to be challenged to think first before we speak. Party identification or denominational affiliation aren’t adequate basis for supporting one program and not another. Complex socal issues like homelessness, poverty, immigration, mental illness, and health care are often way beyond our immediate expertise. We can offer our opinions but ought not rush to the microphones if we haven’t studied up both on the issue at hand and on Christ commands to love God above all and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
The challenge to the church is not to be reactionary; but to be thoughtful in our reaction considering both our world as we encounter it and Christ’s instructions about how to live.

Bill’s statement grounded on the premise of
“Christ in Me” needs to also acknowledge the presence of Sin within us all–all the time. In each of our own ways we are saddled through Sin with being “less fortunate, marginalized and/or oppressed” in ways other than are monetarily measured. Unfortunately, especially for those who have relatively prosperous lives–we have been blinded by Satan’s lies to this “Sin within Us.”

This is the fundamental barrier to our communities ability in collectively and effectively addressing the issue of poverty–our deceived belief that poverty is not already and always within us because we don’t “look” impoverished. We must come to accept that poverty/Sin just happens to manifest itself in different ways. We unknowingly relish in this belief that we are not suffering as others we can see in a more obvious, observable way are suffering. Where is our humility as a primary demonstration of our awareness of this truth?

So leadership starts first and foremost in each of our hearts–with a willingness to accept the Sin/poverty we inherit in being a part of this world, and our willingness to not distinquish ourselves from those we see being less fortunate in the “measures of the world.”

Until we adopt the “measures of the Word” as the basis for our engagement with our fellow suffering brothers and sisters within and without the Kingdom of Christ–we are simply subject to Satan’s deception as to whose problem “poverty” truly is.
