Could it be that the church, which was meant to reflect the heart of God, has instead taken the role of leader? Could we simply be making things harder than they need to be?
In The Tail That Wags the Dog, veteran pastor Max Myers takes those questions straight to the Bible to...

Throughout history, churches have traditionally taught-and congregants have widely accepted-the notion that women should have only limited leadership roles in churches. Many ban them entirely from such positions. Even among churches where women preach, teach, and lead in spiritual matters, many still harbor doubts. This is due, in part, to scriptures such as 1 Timothy 2:12, "And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but...

For Lutheran pastor John Berntsen, the cross is about more than the crucifixion on Good Friday. It is shorthand for the whole drama of salvation-God's decisive act of reconciling the world to God's own self. The cross is dying and rising with Christ, but at a deeper level it is the story of the world's resistance to grace. Those who lead are subject to the cross no less than others. In contrast with the current fashion for "visionary" or "purpose-driven"...

Life can deal you with many challenges, which often are responded to without the benefit of lessons learned. As a result, we often make the same mistakes that our predecessors made as they faced these same challenges. The journey through life, or the journey up the ladder of a supervisor to a leader in a company, is much easier if we know of the mistakes that others have made and can learn lessons to apply when each of us goes through the same challenge....
